On July 4, the Third Ukraine Reform Conference ended in Toronto.
"Canada and Ukraine share a deep friendship, built on common values and strong people-to-people ties. Today, we took the next step to deepen those ties. Canada will always stand with the people of Ukraine, and will continue to support its efforts on the path to greater democracy, security, and prosperity," said the Canadian Prime Minister.Support of Ukraine on behalf of Canada was also confirmed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the country, Chrystia Freeland.
"This conference gives us a unique opportunity to once again support Ukraine's reforms and Ukraine's path to European integration. Ukrainians have shown full devotion to sovereignty, democracy and reforms. Your agenda is very ambitious, you still have a lot to do in the main sectors, but since the Revolution of Dignity, more reforms have been implemented than in the previous 27 years," said Freeland in her speech.It's impossible to speak about Ukraine's development without the return of the occupied Donbas and Crimea, Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized during his speech at the Conference in Toronto.
"They (inhabitants of the occupied territories - RPR) should not lose contact with Ukraine. These are our citizens. And today they are scared. They are scared because they are muddled in the question "Who are we?". They are Ukrainians, no matter what language they speak. We will never get tired of repeating: Donbas and Crimea are Ukrainian," said the President."Return of Crimea and peace in Donbas serve as a guarantee of a peaceful sleep both in Europe and in the world. Keep this in mind the next time you discuss sanctions (against Russia - RPR)," Zelenskyy added.
