I thanked Justin Trudeau for Canada's defence and financial support and described the multi-year Canadian aid programme as ‘an extremely important signal to the world about unwavering support for Ukraine until its victory’."

Details: Zelenskyy thanked Canada for the new package of sanctions against Russia and for its initiative to create an international coalition to bring home Ukrainian children abducted by Russia.

"We discussed our joint steps to implement this initiative," Zelenskyy said.

In addition, he thanked Canada for its decision to help Ukraine finance the second phase of construction of the Holodomor genocide museum and discussed the situation in the Middle East with Trudeau.
