Details: Photos of the Canadian Prime Minister in Kyiv appeared on social networks and in the Canadian mass media.
The Canadian prime minister is in Ukraine with Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, who is of Ukrainian descent.
Trudeau’s visit was not announced, like most visits by Western government officials, for security reasons.
In Kyiv, Trudeau started his visit by attending a wreath-laying ceremony at the Wall of Remembrance, dedicated to those who died in the Russian-Ukrainian war.
This is Trudeau’s second visit to Ukraine since the start of Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Trudeau last visited Ukraine in May 2022.
In May 2023, President Zelenskyy had a telephone conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, in which he discussed the programme of long-term defence cooperation and also noted the beginning of the confiscation of Russian assets in Canada.
At the end of April, the Canadian government announced the provision of new military aid to Ukraine in the amount of 39 million Canadian dollars (US$28.9 million).

Maybe he has some ATACMS in his baggage?
Canada is a very wealthy liberal democracy with a large Ukrainian diaspora.
So far, it has not been punching anywhere near its weight.
So he’d better have something decent for Ukraine to help them win.
No more talk about “reconstruction.”
It’s got to be about win win win from now on.
Unfortunately, most are not pulling their weight. That’s why I wish they could get to feel what Ukraine´is feeling, even if only a fraction of the pain.
