Stephen Harper

Stephen Harper: Yet an impassioned Ukrainian Ambassador to Canada, Vadym Prystaiko, said Canada and the West should do more short of military action and called for international observers to restore security to Ukraine after Russias invasion of Ukraines southern region of Crimea, according to The Star. They ve invaded; I mean certainly if its not war, its akin to war, Baird said on CBCs Power and Politics broadcast. Baird was scornful of Russias claim it had to act to defend Russians living in Crimea, and compared Putins actions to Adolf Hitlers when it invaded Czechoslovakia in 1938 and As one of his ministers compared Russias incursion in Crimea to Nazi Germany, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Russia must withdraw its soldiers from or face diplomatic and economic isolation and possible ouster from the Group of Eight leading economic powers. Harper had referred to a military intervention and stopped short of calling it an invasion but Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird and a top military official said it was clearly that.
