Harper already did that

Prime Minister Stephen Harper had a blunt message for Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday, as they crossed paths at a private retreat for G20 leaders in Australia.
The message: “Get out of Ukraine.”
Both Harper and Putin arrived in Brisbane Friday night, ahead of the G20 Summit.
According to Harper’s director of communications Jason MacDonald, Harper was chatting with a couple of other world leaders at the retreat when Putin entered the room.
MacDonald said Putin reached out to shake the prime minister’s hand, as he approached Harper and the others.
Harper acknowledged his Russian counterpart, saying: “I guess I’ll shake your hand, but I only have one thing to say to you: you need to get out of Ukraine.”
“Putin did not respond positively,” MacDonald told Canadian reporters.
