Zelenskyy holds talks with Canada's Prime Minister - Key topics discussed

"I spoke with Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney. It was a good and substantive conversation covering many important topics. I congratulated him on his assumption of office and thanked Canada for its assistance, particularly for the defense packages and support of our energy sector," Zelenskyy stated.

Pressure on Putin and Ukraine’s recovery

According to Zelenskyy, the Canadian prime minister shared proposals on strengthening pressure on Moscow during their conversation.

"The shadow fleet, the banking sector. We must impose all-out sanctions on everything that provides Russia with funding for its war. Only then can we force Putin to a just and lasting peace," wrote the Ukrainian President.

Zelenskyy and Carney also discussed the humanitarian aspects of security guarantees for Ukraine, including the country’s reconstruction and economic support after the war. They agreed to work on these efforts together.

Ukraine-Canada cooperation

"We touched upon the Ukrainian agenda during Canada’s G7 presidency. We will continue interacting in various formats and at different levels to make our cooperation even more meaningful and practical," added Zelenskyy.

Zelenskyy and Carney also discussed the development of bilateral relations. According to Zelenskyy, Canada is interested in military-industrial and defense cooperation.

"Throughout this war, we have gained significant experience in the production of EW systems, long-range missiles, and drones. Ukraine is ready for joint production," emphasized Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Canada's support

Previously, Zelenskyy had already spoken with Canada's new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, regarding a ceasefire in Ukraine.

Carney stated that Canada supports an immediate ceasefire and, in line with the G7 agreement, will tighten enforcement of sanctions against Russia to ensure compliance.
