The pair — the two most senior leaders of G7 countries, who united to condemn Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine earlier this week at The Hague — will likely discuss several issues pertaining to the crisis, including Europe’s reliance on Russian energy.
Canada has joined the list of countries condemning Russia’s annexation of Crimea. During a Wednesday speech in Munich, Harper told an audience: “It's increasingly apparent to me that the Cold War has never left Vladimir Putin's mind; I think he still thinks in those terms."
"We simply, as a world, cannot afford the risk of Europe going back to being a continent where people seize territory, where they make claims on neighbouring countries, where the bigger military powers are prepared to invade their neighbours or carve off pieces."
Currently, Canada has levelled sanctions against top Russian officials.
