Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska are in Canada, and have a full day of events ahead of them, in Ottawa and Toronto.
On Friday, the marquee event will be Zelenskyy's address to a joint session of Parliament at 1 p.m. ET.
Prior to, and following his address, Zelenskyy and the first lady are making a series of stops alongside Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and members of cabinet.
Today's address will be an opportunity for the Ukrainian leader to make his case for the need for continued support in the face of Russia's now 19-month invasion, directly to the Canadian public.
Since January 2022, Canada has provided more than $9.8 billion in military, economic, and humanitarian aid. The federal government has also levelled multiple rounds of Russian sanctions, deployed Canadian Armed Forces to Europe to train Ukrainian soldiers, and welcomed more than 175,000 Ukrainians to this country.
This visit—his first since Russian President Vladimir Putin's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine—is being held under tight security, and follows stops at the White House in Washington, D.C., and United Nations General Assembly in New York City.
