Despite being geographically distant from our country, Canada has supported Ukrainians in the aggressive war initiated by the Russian Federation.
Ottawa has provided military, financial, humanitarian, and political support to Ukraine and has backed sanctions against Russia. In May 2022, after the liberation of the north, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited Kyiv as a sign of solidarity and support.
