This is the best summary I could come up with:
Canada’s top envoy in Moscow says relations with post-Soviet Russia are likely as bad as they’ve ever been, as the war in Ukraine grinds on and Vladimir Putin enters his fifth term as president.
“I would say it’s certainly a relationship that is extremely poor at the moment, probably the poorest it’s ever been” since the fall of the Soviet Union, Taylor told host Catherine Cullen.
She also expressed concern about Russian domestic issues, including what she called a “crackdown on democracy, human rights [and] civil society.”
Ukraine has said a months-long delay in an aid package from the United States put it at a tactical disadvantage.
Putin used the occasion of his inauguration to a fifth presidential term in Russia to rail against the West’s support for embattled Ukraine.
High oil prices in particular have allowed the Russian economy to weather its increasing isolation from the global marketplace.
