We are grateful for the additional support of 2.4 billion CAD announced by Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland. Canada's financial contribution will help us maintain economic stability and support Ukrainians affected by the war started by russia. 🇺🇦🤝🇨🇦 Together for victory
I had a phone call with Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau. I thanked him for CAD 2.4 billion in aid to the Ukrainian budget and significant defense support. We discussed in detail the situation on the battlefield and further security needs of Ukraine.
Canada’s support for Ukraine remains steadfast. This morning, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal and I spoke about how Ukrainians continue to defend their sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence - and about what more Canada can do to help. Here’s what we’re doing:
Between 🛬 and 🛫 there were many detailed, fruitful & thought-provoking discussions with 🇺🇦 PM Denys Shmyhal . Was an honour to be part of his first visit to 🇨🇦. His gratitude to Canadians was deep & the warm welcome from community + business leaders was sincere. 🇨🇦 + 🇺🇦 = 💪🏽
Canada is a reliable partner of🇺🇦, standing side by side during such a challenging times. Expressed a huge gratitude to friend of Ukraine Deputy Prime Minister of Canada Chrystia Freeland during our meeting in Washington DC. 🇨🇦 has provided Ukraine with $3.6bn in direct budget support since Feb 2022
Always great to meet you, dear Justin Trudeau. Canada is one of our most trusted partners. We work together on issues of global importance - Ukraine, Indo-Pacific, climate change and economic security. And we are jointly preparing an important G7 summit in Hiroshima.
Thank you for the warm reception and fruitful meeting, Justin Trudeau. A momentous occasion as the first Moldovan President's visit to Canada since '92. Grateful for Canada's support in our pursuit of democratic reforms and look forward to boosting our already strong cooperation.
We're joining forces with G7 development finance institutions to lead a new Ukraine Investment Platform to help with the country's reconstruction and do so with a focus on the private sector. Our Mark Bowman was at the Tokyo signing ceremony for the new initiative earlier today.
Military and financial support, sanctions against the aggressor. In all of these areas, Canada keeps leading positions in supporting Ukraine. Expressed my gratitude to the Ambassador of Canada to Ukraine Larisa Galadza - Лариса Ґаладза for the tremendous efforts from🇨🇦

Glad to meet the Prime Minister of Canada 🇨🇦 Justin Trudeau in Kyiv. We discussed Canada's involvement in 🇺🇦's reconstruction. I thanked Canada for an additional 400 million USD in military aid and assistance in dealing with the aftermath of the Kakhovka HPP explosion.
Very important speech by Justin Trudeau in 🇺🇦 Parliament. Canada will stand by Ukrainians as long as it takes. A new $400 million military assistance package. Grateful to the government and people of 🇨🇦 for standing with 🇺🇦, standing for justice and democracy. Together we'll win.
The principles that Ukrainians are fighting for – democracy, justice, and freedom – are principles that Canadians support, too. Today, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський and I spoke about the steps we’re taking to support Ukraine. More on what we announced in Kyiv: tinyurl.com/3mnr8v7a
