Canada’s minister of foreign affairs, Mélanie Joly, will meet Ukraine’s prime minister during a week-long trip to Europe as the spectre of a Russian invasion looms.
Joly will leave for Europe on Sunday and return to Canada on Saturday, Jan. 22.
“The amassing of Russian troops and equipment in and around Ukraine jeopardizes security in the entire region,” Joly said in a statement.
“These aggressive actions must be deterred. Canada will work with its international partners to uphold the rules-based international order and preserve the human rights and dignity of Ukrainians.”
In a statement to Global News, Global Affairs said Joly’s meetings will focus on “Russia’s aggression and ongoing destabilizing activities in and around Ukraine.”
Joly will reaffirm Canada’s support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and the importance of “collective security” in upholding that independence, the statement said.
