IPD Advisor Jocelyn Coulon provided comments (in French) to Le Devoir on defining Canada’s belligerent status in the war over Ukraine and whether or not it can be viewed as a combatant against Russia.
The following are excerpts from the original piece published on March 26, 2022.

Jocelyn Coulon is an Advisor at the Institute for Peace and Diplomacy and a Research Fellow at the Montreal Centre for International Studies (CERIUM).
