Ukrainians should have no doubt about Canada's commitment to their country, Prime Minister Carney said on Sunday as he made a surprise visit to Kyiv to mark Ukraine's Independence Day.
On what was his first trip to the war-torn nation, Carney gave a speech in Sophia Square in front of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The trip comes during a European trip that includes stops in Poland, Germany and Latvia.
The prime minister was invited as a special guest of Zelenskyy for the state holiday marking 34 years since Ukraine declared its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
The trip comes as efforts to broker a peace between Ukraine and Russia intensify.
