Share

Canada鈥檚 former chief of the defence staff is warning of a 鈥渓ong-term鈥 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

鈥淭his is not going to end soon,鈥 retired General Rick Hillier told Joyce Napier on 麻豆影视 Channel鈥檚 Power Play Monday.

鈥淭he war is entering a different phase now,鈥 he said. 鈥淲e should settle in for that long-term slugfest,鈥 he told Napier.

Hillier told Power Play that Canada can provide help to Ukraine for both the short and long term. He suggested Canada bring Ukrainian troops into Europe or Canada for training on patriot missiles.

The patriot missile system is a defence system that can counter missile attacks. Hillier said Canada can pay for or buy those patriot missile systems.

He told Power Play after troops are trained on those systems they can be deployed back into Ukraine.
