Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly has ended a two-day visit to Ukraine where she met with senior officials to discuss Canada’s military support and attempts to bring Russia to international tribunals for war crimes.
OTTAWA - Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly is praising a recent crackdown on corruption by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s government.
Zelenskyy was elected in 2019 on an anti-establishment and anti-corruption platform in a country long gripped by graft. In addition to speaking to Zelenskyy, Joly said she voiced Canada’s concerns about corruption with the president’s top adviser as well as Ukraine’s prosecutor general and Internal Affairs Minister Ihor Klymenko, who oversees the country’s police forces.
Canada quickly donated four Leopard 2 tanks following an appeal from Ukraine, all of which are now in Europe. Joly’s visit also included a trip to the suburb of Brovary, where senior officials were killed in a helicopter crash that has not been attributed to Russia.
