President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated Mark Carney on his victory in the early parliamentary elections in Canada.
"Congratulations to Mark Carney and the Liberal Party on their victory in the Canadian federal election. Ukraine deeply values our close ties with Canada and the unwavering support of the Canadian people. " Zelenskyy wrote.
He thanked Canada for its principled leadership in supporting Ukraine, for its military, financial, and humanitarian assistance. As well as for the introduction of sanctions against Russia.
"We are confident that our partnership will only grow stronger in our shared pursuit of peace, justice, and security," Zelenskyy said.
Early parliamentary elections in Canada
On March 23, 2025, at the request of Prime Minister Mark Carney, Governor General Mary Simon announced the dissolution of parliament and set an election for April 28.
On Monday, Canadians voted for members of the House of Commons (the lower house of parliament). The leader of the party that wins the most seats will become prime minister and will be able to form a government either alone or in a coalition.
Carney recently expressed his intention to postpone Canada's negotiations with the United States on customs tariffs, as it is necessary to first elect a parliament and then implement many important reforms that will strengthen the country's position in negotiations with Washington
