Trudeau welcomes use of ‘genocide’ to describe Russian war effort

Al Jazeera  

Canadian prime minister deems it ‘absolutely right’ to see more people using term to denounce Moscow’s actions in Ukraine. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said he believes it is “absolutely right” to see more people using the term “genocide” to describe Russian actions in Ukraine, where Moscow’s assault is entering an eighth week. However, Trudeau stopped short of directly echoing Joe Biden’s comments from a day earlier, when the United States president for the first time accused his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin of committing “genocide”. But I think it’s absolutely right that more and more people be talking and using the word ‘genocide’ in terms of what Russia is doing, what Vladimir Putin has done,” Trudeau told reporters on Wednesday. Russia’s foreign ministry previously summoned the US ambassador in Moscow over Biden’s earlier characterisation of Putin as a “war criminal”, saying the remark risked causing a “rupture” of US-Russia relations.
