Ukraine wants to join the Nato military alliance as fast as it can, but Zelensky has recognized that cannot happen while the war with Russia is raging.
“Canada supports Ukraine to become a Nato member as soon as conditions allow for it. Ukraine and Canada look forward to addressing these issues at the Nato Summit in Vilnius in July 2023,” said a joint declaration adopted after the talks. Trudeau was applauded at length as he spoke in parliament for 25 minutes, denouncing the Russian invasion and praising Ukraine’s democratic development.
He said Ukraine’s resistance was about “the future of us all. You are the tip of the spear that is determining the future of the 21st century.”As Trudeau visited Kyiv, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly announced that a Russian-registered Antonov-124 cargo plane was seized at Toronto’s airport, Ottawa’s first such seizure of an asset aimed at putting pressure on Moscow.
The Canadian prime minister was accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, a Ukrainian speaker.
