He probably meant that Canada is the most Ukrainian country outside of Ukraine, due to the large Ukrainian minority. Although if you want to look at it historically, Ukraine and Canada do have some similarities. Having a larger, more powerful cultural cousin whose political orbit they find hard to escape, for example.

Remember the time that Putin boasted how he could take Kiev in two weeks, if necessary? Turns out he didn't just mention Kiev, but also Riga, Vilnius, Tallinn, Warsaw and Bucharest. At least according to Poroshenko.

Yeah, Lithuanian press is just spewing out poorly sourced claims that Putin said something in the manner: "Our troops can reach Vilnius in 2 days if we wanted to". That's mean. Why can't he just give all of his countries riches to us and surrender to the high Illuminati reptoid overlords?

It's important to remember here that the parliament has no actual power regarding to sanctions. They apparently also called for suspension of all energy related cooperation with Russia. Not saying that isn't significant if it indeed is the parliament and not just some parts of it saying that.

"Politician says radical thing to foreign audience" isn't exactly unheard of, the proof will be whatever he actually ends up doing On the other hand it's not necessarily inconsistent if it is honest: Poroshenko may be willing to take a hard line against Russia on the strict condition that he gets sufficient concrete support from the West to carry it out

Regardless of how hard a line he wants to take against Russia, he's not going to want to rearm with their military gear anymore, I don't think.
