Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is scheduled to fly to Brussels later this month to attend a NATO meeting about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The meeting is set to take place in Belgium’s capital on March 24.
In a statement through his press secretary, U.S. President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that he will also attend the NATO meeting in Belgium “to discuss ongoing deterrence and defence efforts in response to Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified attack on Ukraine.”
Russia's escalating violence in Ukraine has triggered many international meetings. Defence Minister Anita Anand is set to attend what her office called an "extraordinary" meeting of NATO's defence ministers in Brussels on Wednesday.
In an address to Canada's House of Commons on Tuesday via video link, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky made direct pleas for NATO to impose a no-fly zone over his country.
