Saturday marked two years since Russia launched its war on Ukraine. We spoke with retired General Rick Hillier for his thoughts on what needs to be done to end the death and destruction there

CBC Newfoundland Morning

This past weekend marked two years since Russia launched a full-on invasion of Ukraine. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians and soldiers have died or been wounded in the attacks. The bombs have turned towns and cities to rubble, and have led many people to flee the country. Canadian retired General Rick Hillier of Campbellton is doing what he can to help the Ukrainian military. The former Chief of Defense Staff is also urging Canadian governments to do more to help re-settle the flood of refugees who have come here. Hillier is chair of the Strategic Advisory Council that provides support and advice to the Ukrainian World Congress.
