Just a day after Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke on the phone, the pair are meeting in Halifax today. In a statement, the Prime Minister’s Office says the PM reaffirmed Canada’s commitment to Ukraine throughout peace negotiations with Russia. The visit to Canada comes a day ahead of a planned meeting between Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump. In a social media post, Zelensky accused Russia of delaying peace talks saying, “Much can be accomplished both bilaterally between Ukraine and the United States, as well as with our Coalition of the Willing partners. It is critical that we jointly and constructively bolster Ukraine’s ability to protect life, reinforce our front-line positions, and enhance the effectiveness of the negotiation process. Right now, it is Russia that is dragging its feet and trying to waste time.” Carney and Zelenskyy will meet just after 1:00 this afternoon.
