Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal met in London Sunday to discuss the impact of Russia's war, according to a new statement.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal met in London Sunday to discuss the impact of Russia’s war, according to a new statement.
“The Prime Ministers discussed Canada’s assistance to Ukraine and work with like-minded partners to address the impacts of Russia’s illegal and unjustifiable aggression of the country,” the statement said.
“They also discussed the importance of maintaining strong unity amongst allies and continuing to impose severe sanctions on Russia in the face of its invasion of Ukraine.”
The two prime ministers are in London for the funeral of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away at the age of 96 on Sept. 8 at Balmoral Castle.
Trudeau also expressed his condolences to Shmyhal on behalf of Canada to Ukraine regarding a discovered mass burial site that appears to show evidence that some of the dead were tortured.
During a press conference in England on Sunday, Trudeau said Russia’s actions “clearly include war crimes.”
The mass graves site near the northeastern city of Izium, recently recaptured from Russian forces, appears to be one of the largest discovered in Ukraine. Some bodies were found to have broken limbs and ropes around their neck.
Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy spoke in a video on Sept. 16 to underscore the gravity of the discovery. He said more than 440 graves have been found at the site but that the number of victims is not yet known.
