OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly is suggesting Canada would support a policy of allowing Ukraine to use NATO-provided arms inside Russia, amid a debate among members of the military alliance.

“We believe that we need to be forward-leaning on this question,” Joly said at a Wednesday news conference in Stockholm, Sweden.

“Russia has no red line, and so that is why we need to make sure that when it comes (to) Ukraine’s defence, that we’re there to help them.”
