Details: On Friday 5 September, Carney said that Canada and other allies should continue to put "maximum pressure" on Moscow.

The Canadian PM noted that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin "has not yet come to terms with the need for peace".

"Mr Putin is the cause of this war, he's the reason for the killing," he said. "He is not going to dictate the terms of the peace," Carney said.

Carney said that the allies' pressure on Russia would include imposing new sanctions, arming Ukrainian troops, and supporting Ukraine "when there is a cessation of hostility". 

The Canadian PM added that Ukraine's allies are preparing the next round of sanctions.
