Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has vowed to send troops to Ukraine to aid the country in its war against Russia. Trudeau made the statement on Sunday, saying that his government is open to contributing forces to a possible joint Western mission in Ukraine.

Russia has mocked the idea saying the United States could annex the entire country of Canada if they loan their troops to Ukraine.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has derided the idea that Canada could send troops to Ukraine. In a social media post on Monday, she questioned who would safeguard Canadian territory from potential U.S. annexation in such a scenario. “Who would defend Canadian land if the U.S. expands north? Probably Ukrainians, who are dodging the draft in Canada,” Zakharova quipped, alluding to the widespread evasion of mandatory military service among Ukrainian citizens.

Trudeau pledged to resign as leader of the Liberal Party after a general election that is expected later this year. During a recent public debate, one of his potential successors, former Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, advocated for an alliance with European nuclear powers against the U.S., claiming that Canada’s neighbor “is turning predator” under Trump. Freeland, a foreign policy hawk, is also the granddaughter of Michael Chomiak, the Ukrainian editor of a Nazi-controlled newspaper during World War II, according to a report by RT.
