Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he has been pressing NATO leaders to support lifting long-range weapons restrictions on Ukraine .

Ukraine has long been pushing for permission to strike targets deep within Russia with the weapons supplied largely by the U.S. , Britain and other allies.

Trudeau said earlier this month that Ukraine should be allowed to strike within Russian territory with western-supplied weapons.

Putin warned lifting the weapons restrictions would draw NATO into direct war with Moscow .

Canada has committed $4.5 billion in military assistance. Ukrainian and Russian forces are battling in the east, including hand-to-hand combat in the Kharkiv border region where Ukraine has driven Russia out of a huge processing plant in the town of Vovchansk that had been occupied for four months , officials said Tuesday . At the same time, Ukrainian troops continue to hold ground in Russia ’s Kursk region after a daring incursion there last month . — with files from The Associated Press and Reuters .
