OTTAWA — The last time Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in Canada, he was a relatively unknown leader fresh off an election win, focused on his showcasing his country's efforts to make democratic reform and integrate with Europe.
Zelenskyy arrived in Ottawa late Thursday an instantly recognizable wartime leader in his signature olive green, focused on his country's survival.
On Wednesday, he called for a complete withdrawal of Russia's troops and the creation of a peace pact that"respects the UN Charter, is based in international law and preserves Ukraine's territorial integrity." Just shy of two years later, more than 9,000 civilians have been reported killed, including more than 500 children — though the UN agency that is tracking casualties warns the actual figures are likely much higher.
"To move on this battlefield to liberate each and every village, it takes very careful operations," she said.
