Trudeau: “Canada stands by Kiev”
"The fight for lasting peace cannot be won alone. That's why we're here. President Zelensky and I spoke in Kiev. I told him that Canada will always have Ukraine's back," Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wrote. "I supported Canada's new military support to help Ukraine secure lasting peace and defend its sovereignty. And in response to Russia's attempts to evade responsibility for its own war, I announced Canada's new sanctions against Russia's shadow fleet: ships used to evade Western sanctions and continue to illegally export Russian oil around the world. Ukrainians deserve to live in a strong democracy, free from Russian aggression, and Canada will stand by them until that goal is achieved."
