Canadian MPs unanimously back motion calling Russian attacks in Ukraine a 'genocide'
Canadian members of Parliament voted unanimously on Wednesday to label Russia’s attacks in Ukraine a “genocide.”
The vote was triggered after NDP MP and foreign affairs critic Heather McPherson presented a motion asking that the House recognize that “the Russian Federation is committing acts of genocide against the Ukrainian people.”
MPs agreed that there is “clear and ample evidence of systemic and massive war crimes against humanity” being committed by Russian Armed Forces directed by President Vladimir Putin and others within the Russian Parliament.
Those crimes include, among other offenses, mass atrocities, systematic instances of willful killing of Ukrainian civilians, the desecration of corpses, forcible transfer of Ukrainian children, torture, physical harm, mental harm, and rape, the motion reads.

Ukraine's aid needs to be doubled, - British Foreign Secretary Truss said
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom Liz Truss stated that Ukraine's allies need to double their support for the country in its fight against Russian aggression.
This was reported by the press service of the British government, Censor.NET reports with reference to Ukrinform.
"We must redouble our support for Ukraine, and we must also adhere to the unity shown during this crisis. The war in Ukraine is our war, it is everyone's war because Ukraine's victory is a strategic imperative for all of us," Truss said.
She added that today, in addition to heavy weapons, Ukrainian troops also need heavy weapons and aircraft.
"Heavy weapons, tanks, planes - digging deep into our reserves, increasing production. We need to do all this. Because of our sanctions, Russia has already faced the first default of foreign debt in a century. We need to move on. Putin should have nowhere to finance this terrible war. This means stopping oil and gas imports once and for all," said Truss.
According to her, it is also necessary to provide support to the Ukrainian people.
"It means helping refugees, it means delivering food, medicine, and other necessities and keeping the economy afloat," the minister added.
Truss also called for the Putin regime to be held accountable for its heinous crimes.
"We will go further (with the support of Ukraine. - Ed.) and faster to oust Russia from all over Ukraine," - said Truss.
