Before pulling Canadian diplomats out of Ukraine weeks ahead of the Russian invasion, Global Affairs Canada received intelligence confirming that Russia intended to wage war against its neighbour, and that Ukrainians who worked for the Canadian embassy were likely on lists of people Moscow intended to hunt down.
In January, the sources said, diplomats working at the embassy in Kyiv received a secret briefing from the intelligence alliance known as the Five Eyes in which they were toldBut there was something else: Russia had prepared lists of Ukrainians whom the alliance believed Moscow intended to pursue, detain or perhaps even kill. Although it was unclear exactly whose names appeared on the lists, the diplomats were told Ukrainians who worked for Western embassies in Kyiv were likely to be included.
They were told by two senior Global Affairs civil servants that Canada had no responsibility – known in policy terms as a “duty of care” – to local employees in this situation, and that Ottawa did not want to set a precedent of protecting local embassy staff. None of the Ukrainians who worked for the Canadian embassy in Kyiv have been killed in the war so far, the sources said, but many remain angry.
The duty of care diplomatic personnel have toward local staff members has been interpreted in different ways by Canada over time.

globeandmail Not Canada. Trudeau.
globeandmail Russian hit list? That is laughable, more fake news. The only foreign Nationals on a hit list would be mercenaries and covert operators like the CIA. Locals who worked for embassies would have been doing simple jobs like interpreters and clerical staff, nothing more...
