Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told Canada’s parliament that Russia’s war against his country will ultimately fail in the face of the resolve of his people and their allies.
Canada pledged new measures to help Ukraine on Friday during Zelenskiy’s first visit since Russia’s invasion — including C$650 million over three years to supply Ukraine with 50 armored vehicles, including medical evacuation vehicles, to be built in southwestern Ontario.
Canadian lawmakers of all political stripes warmly welcomed Zelenskiy on Friday, standing up multiple times to deliver thunderous applause. The show of unity struck a different tone from Zelenskiy’s visit to the US, which was marked by divisions between Democrats and Republicans about the scale of support for Ukraine.In Canada, home to a large Ukrainian diaspora, there is much agreement on assistance for the country.
“This is a challenge on a generational scale, a challenge history will judge us on,” the Canadian leader said Friday — one that requires a “lionhearted” bravery exemplified by Zelenskiy and all Ukrainians, he added. “They have fought back with a courage that has inspired the world.”
