    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    He looks nervous but good for him for going. It's a propaganda victory for Ukrainians to have international leaders visit-it shows they are in control of their airspace. As an aside in a country like Canada with so many people of Ukrainian ancestry how could he not go? Example-Kitsilano BC 3...
