Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has issued a standing invitation to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to address Canada's Parliament one day.
Trudeau spoke to Zelensky from Berlin on Wednesday ahead of his meetings with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz as the NATO alliance continues to pressure Russia to end its invasion in Ukraine.
"Talked to my friend @JustinTrudeau about UACA defense co-operation and how to increase sanctions pressure on Russia. Agreed on further diplomatic steps. Canada stands with Ukraine. We feel it every day," the Ukrainian leader said on Twitter on Wednesday.
It was Trudeau’s first conversation with the Ukrainian leader in six days. Trudeau has praised Zelensky's resilience and leadership as his forces try to fend off an invasion by the largest military in Europe.
"The Prime Minister shared that Canada will be sending Ukraine another shipment of highly specialized military equipment," Trudeau's office said in a statement.
