Investing.com -- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke by phone Monday, emphasizing that Ukraine must be included in any discussions about ending the war in the country.
The call came ahead of Friday’s meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, with both leaders welcoming Trump’s efforts toward securing peace in Ukraine.
Carney and Zelenskyy agreed on the need to end what they described as "Russia’s barbaric war of aggression" and establish lasting peace for Ukraine. They stressed that decisions about Ukraine’s future must be made by Ukrainians, international borders cannot be changed by force, and diplomatic efforts must be backed by continued pressure on Russia.
The Canadian Prime Minister reaffirmed his country’s support for Ukraine, highlighting $2 billion in new military aid and the disbursement of a $2.3 billion loan to help rebuild Ukrainian infrastructure and public systems.
Carney also noted that Canada, the European Union, and the United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280) announced plans last week to lower the price cap for Russian crude oil to weaken Russia’s ability to fund the war.
As Co-Chairs of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children, Canada and Ukraine called for Russia to immediately return Ukrainian children who have been unlawfully deported or forcibly transferred.
Carney confirmed that Canada will continue working closely with the Coalition of the Willing, the United States, and Ukraine to promote peace and security in Ukraine and Europe.
