Canadian PM Justin Trudeau foresees new opportunities to halt Russia's invasion of Ukraine, while backing German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's phone call to Vladimir Putin.
Zelenskyy announced this after a call with Trudeau, where they discussed the Montreal Peace Formula conference, Victory Plan, and North Korea’s involvement in the war.
The air defense system, intended to bolster Ukraine's defense capabilities, remains undelivered amid Russian attacks and a recent offensive on Kharkiv Oblast.
According to Ukrainian authorities, nearly 20,000 children have been forcibly taken to Russia from occupied territories since 2022 and only 389 were returned back home.
Trudeau said that Russia's hybrid invasion of the peninsula was more than just aggression against Ukraine, as the Kremlin's actions challenged the international legal order.
Canada will provide an additional $500 million in military assistance to Ukraine, including 50 armored vehicles. Additionally, Canada will send instructors to train Ukrainian pilots and technicians on F-16 fighter jets.
During Zelenskyy's first visit to Canada since February 2022, Ukrainian and Canadian presidents will sign an agreement to further strengthen economic ties between the two countries.
