International Development Minister Harjit Sajjan says he told Canadian officials in Ukraine and neighbouring countries to ensure that women sexually assaulted by Russian troops get the help they need -- including access to abortions if they wish.

He said pregnant sexual assault victims who have fled Ukraine, where abortion is legal, to Poland, which last year outlawed abortion in most cases, could be helped to travel to elsewhere in Europe.

Sajjan said Canada would respect the laws of other countries but noted "our people on the ground" are finding ways to "respectfully give the support for the women." Meanwhile, Canada has sent rape kits to Ukraine to help police compile evidence against Russian troops alleged to have sexually assaulted women and girls, as part of broader measures intended to address gender-based violence caused by the ongoing war.

Canada announced last week it is committing an extra $1 million to help the international community investigate alleged sex crimes by Russian troops in Ukraine. Yulia Kovaliv, Ukraine's ambassador designate to Canada, also warned members of Parliament earlier this month that Russia is using sexual violence against women and children as a weapon of war.

Is SAJJAN STILL BABBLING. WISH HE WOULD LEAD THE CHARGE IN UKRAINE ...OR ANYWHERE ELSE FAR AWAY. WOMEN IN THE MILITARY NEED LEADERSHIP FROM THE TOP...

Heaven forbid more white people are born.

This is the last guy to be speaking about this issue. He botched the handling of that within our military 😂

What an absolutely bizarre government we have in Canada . Lunatics.

Canada's answer to all international problems is abortion. Must kill babies. Especially in other countries.

If these Liberal clowns walked into a maternity ward, the preborns would get nervous.

I think the best health care for Ukrainians would be carpet bombing Moscow.

Sajjan may be the most ineffective minister in Canadian history. Trudeau has appointed many disasters as ministers (given that Trudeau is very incompetent himself), but Sajjan is the worst.

Thank you for saying that. WomensRights WomensHealthMatters

“Canada is not a nuclear power, it is not a military power. We’re a middle-sized power and what we’re good at is aborting and making sure that abortions are happening, and meanwhile convincing other countries to do more (abortions).” Hey, I'm pro-choice, but don't sugar coat it.

Kill kill kill

The irony is that Canadians can't get the medical care they need. In fact, 8500 Canadians died awaiting surgeries and procedures between April 2019 & March 2020. Dead kids in Texas cause outrage. People who needlessly die in Canada don't matter. Hard to believe.

My first try was a lucky one lol. My friends got burnt last year but I tried differently early this year with Phil12m and this guy is so so Good! I got my profit worth $70k and reinvested several times. Please don’t ignore this. Invest with Phil12m he’s trusted

Sajjan shouldn’t even be holding a ministerial position. He was a colossal failure as Defence Minister and has zero credibility!!!

Wow, the new Ukrainian government looks awful familiar 😕

Before checking comments under this tweet, I thought only russians are capable of being so soulless, heartless, and inhumane. Now I see there might be some russian-like inhabitants in Canada. What a disappointment! They could also check how CA ranks in the world on 'high' taxes

And you are the person anyone would talk to about reproductive health?

Wut? They are really milking Canadian tax payers with this war

What country do you work for wizard man

I think if you get one abortion, you should be sterilized, so you can't continue killing babies.

Not your role. Stay out of other countries politics decisions. You cause enough problems with Canada

I will never understand how these cabinet members can have such varied positions. From minister of defense to international defense? Or how Freeland went foreign affairs to finance minister. You would think they would need a background in the field.

Do you mean, they need abortions? If so then say what you mean.

Ukrainians don't need Trudeau nonsense, they need arms to kill Russians. The faster that they can kill Russians, the sooner the war will be over and Ukraine can push Russia out of its territory. Send Ukraine more M777 howitzers & ammo. Do it today. cdnpoli

Stop worrying about ukraine....for f sakes. Worry about canada first.

lol what a circus

$$$ to burn. When is the spending going to stop. Canada is broke in more ways than financially!

What are you going to list your party’s name on the ballot in three years Trudeaus little me. Stop giving our country away. Let the USA pay for the issues caused by its proxy war. This is not our war!

Im sure Canadian women do too.

No they need Nato protection. Why is this incompetent man in any position to speak after disastrous military portfolio

Did you know that we don't have mandatory distances from playgrounds, schools & victims. We don't have mandatory monitoring or a graduated system for similar crimes in our country. We do if you get a DUI, but not if you sexually assualt an adult or even a child weneedchange

Your cap on a little too tight there Bud? We need the assistance at home first.

I wish Canadian politicians would focus on the plethora of problems domestically instead of the other side of the world.

We question the politics that calls Canadians racist. Canada law discourages libel & slander. Who’s defending B.C. from Libel & slander attacks on our Province?

I'm starting to wonder if tolerance is a virtue or a curse.

Not on our dime they don’t! Ukraine is not our problem, nor our responsibility. We shouldn’t even be taking those nazis in as refugees.
