Zelenskyy “expressed gratitude to the Canadian government and the Canadian people for their strong support and assistance to Ukraine during the war,” , according to a release from Zelenskyy’s office citing financial and military aid including Leopard 2 tanks as examples.
Ukraine’s proposed “peace formula,” was also discussed during the meeting as the potential for Canada to hold a global peace summit, and the need to hold Russians accountable for the now nearly years-long invasion, according to the Ukrainian communique about the meeting.
“We’ll be talking even more about the question of accountability,” Joly was reported saying in the video.
