I would hope not.

In my more tinfoil-hat moments, I might suspect this was a plan to undermine support for UA. The war's dragging on now with no end in sight, and more than a few countries are starting to reconsider whether they want to keep sending aid to Ukraine. I think Poland's already said they were going to cut off the tap. So, maybe Trudeau thought "here's a good way to create an excuse for us bailing as well."

Then again, it's probably more likely someone in the civil service just fucked up when they were asked to find a Ukrainian war hero.
