Washington pushes to strengthen language around Beijing while watering down wording on Moscow in a draft statement prepared by Canada.

The U.S] is talking about working positively with Russia [and] appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying murderous dictator,” said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday. “Make that make sense.”

Earlier Monday, Trudeau announced that Canada will provide $5 billion in aid to Ukraine using revenues from frozen Russian assets, after years of Ottawa promising to forfeit holdings associated with Russia’s government and its oligarchs.

A new idea has emerged in G7 capitals in recent years — using the cash in frozen Russian accounts, or interest earned on those accounts, to help fund Ukraine's defence.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed during a news conference in Kyiv Sunday evening that he will meet with Justin Trudeau and other foreign leaders in Ukraine during a summit on Monday.
