Details: Carney emphasized that Canada supports Ukraine militarily and announced the allocation of 2.5 billion Canadian dollars in economic aid.
In turn, Zelensky noted that this night Russia struck another blow against Ukraine, using almost 500 drones and dozens of missiles.
“This attack is another response from Russia to our peace efforts. It shows once again that Putin does not want peace. And we want peace. He is a man of war, but is afraid to talk about it publicly… Moscow has rejected even the proposals of a Christmas ceasefire and is increasing the brutality of missile and drone strikes. This is a clear signal of how they really treat diplomacy there. It is not serious enough yet. So we need a sufficient level of support for Ukraine. And we also need a sufficient level of pressure on Russia,” Zelenskyi said.
During the meeting, the leaders discussed the importance of strengthening Ukraine’s air defense and available diplomatic opportunities. The press service of Zelensky noted that the President of Ukraine and the Prime Minister of Canada have common positions on many key issues.
