Anita Anand told journalists at Parliament Hill she was “surprised” by Danielle Smith’s remarks suggesting the only answer for Ukraine is neutrality
Federal Defence Minister Anita Anand says she has been taken aback by comments from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith about the Russia-Ukraine war.
“We have a Russian aggressor that illegally and unjustifiably invaded a sovereign country and I would think that this is the moment for us to be united in support of a country whose security, sovereignty and stability is at stake,” Ms. Anand said, responding to a question about Ms. Smith’s comments. Asked whether Ms. Smith should apologize, Ms. Anand said she would leave it to the Premier to decide how to move forward.She noted that includes a $50-million aid package for Ukraine announced last week in addition to about $600-million in military training programs.
Various quotes surfaced over the weekend after a freelance journalist published comments Ms. Smith made on social media platforms prior to her successful bid to become Leader of the United Conservative Party and Premier.
