Absolutely nothing wrong with that, not that I am suggesting that he goes out into the battlefield with a weapon.
I just know that Canada was extremely reluctant to send in deadly military weapons until the very last hour and almost by pure force from other countries. Canada put a disproportionately high faith in the diplomatic channels when the intelligence showed something else.
What I don't want is for Zelensky to plead with the Canadian Parliament for a no fly zone, for more support militarily and such when we won't deliver what he wants. Sanctions, some weapons and other signs of support for sure we have and can provide.
I just don't want a lot of prideful MP's running around and happy go lucky over this and using it to rally support if you aren't going to what is being requested in the most serious of terms. There is an optics to these things sometimes and offers of support, ribbons and flags but little action on what is being done.
