In Montreal, in the framework of the Ministerial Conference on the Human Dimension of the Peace Formula, the Ukrainian delegation met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the press service of the President’s Office noted.

“The main topics of discussion were the battlefield situation and the Victory Plan. The Ukrainian delegation presented the points of the Plan, the vision of its implementation, and the Peace Formula to the Prime Minister of Canada and his team. The delegation also highlighted Canada’s leadership role in the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children. Additionally, they discussed priorities for Ukrainian-Canadian cooperation as Canada assumes the G7 presidency next year,” the message reads.

Trudeau, along with the Ukrainian representatives, attended the first plenary session of the Ministerial Conference on its second day. In his address, he emphasized the critical need for joint efforts and commitments to end Russia’s aggression and restore a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.

“Our support for Ukraine is unwavering. We are co-chairs of the Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children and are committed to this cause for the long term. Ukrainian children must return home. We want to help Ukraine and its people until they achieve peace,” he noted.

Trudeau also stressed that Russia’s aggression impacts not only Ukraine, particularly in terms of food security. Canada, therefore, will do everything to protect free navigation in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov to facilitate grain exports.
