Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will work together to increase Russia's economic isolation. The leaders agreed to continue close coordination to continue supporting Ukraine.
This was reported by the website of the Government of Canada.
It is noted that the interlocutors expressed concern about the global impact of the war in Ukraine, including the implications for energy and food security.
"The Prime Minister and Chancellor noted the Ukrainian people for their unyielding courage in the face of Russian aggression. They reaffirmed strong support for President Volodymyr Zelensky and his government and pledged continued economic, security and humanitarian support for Ukraine," Trudeau said.
Recall that the G7 leaders announced a joint statement in support of Ukraine following the meeting.
Earlier, it was reported that Canada will provide additional military aid to Ukraine in the amount of 38.7 million dollars. Ottawa will also impose sanctions against 40 Russians and five companies.
In addition, Justin Trudeau opened the Canadian Embassy in Kyiv. On February 13, the country moved its diplomatic mission to Lviv. Later the embassy was moved to Poland.
Earlier, Trudeau visited Irpen, destroyed by the Russian occupiers, where he met with the mayor of the city. This is Trudeau's first visit to Ukraine since the war began.
