Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Wednesday that the country will send a new shipment of "highly specialized military equipment" to Ukraine and that he has discussed sanctions against Russia with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
"I just spoke with President Zelensky. I let him know that Canada is sending another shipment of highly specialized military equipment. We discussed sanctions against Russia and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine as well," he wrote on the social network Twitter.
The ruler added that he invited Zelensky to address Canada's Parliament and that "Canadians have been inspired by the courage and resilience of Ukrainians and the leadership the President has shown." "I know they are eager to hear it directly," he said quoted by the News to the Minute.
Volodymyr Zelensky, meanwhile, said on the same social network that he had talked with "friend" Justin Trudeau about "cooperation" between the two countries in the field of defense and "how to increase sanctions pressure on Russia."
"Canada is with Ukraine. We feel it every day," he mentioned.
By the 14th day of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a little over two thousand civilians have been killed, including 38 children. It is estimated that more than two million people have already left the country. The data are advanced by the Ukrainian authorities.
