Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, arrived in Ottawa on Thursday and will address the Canadian parliament on Friday. This will be his second address to the Parliament since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022.
During his previous virtual address in March of that year, Zelenskyy had requested NATO to impose a no-fly zone and appealed for cash to help with humanitarian efforts. He had also informed the members of Parliament that 97 children had been killed at the time.
“He’s become a hero to a great many people, certainly to me,” Bob Rae, Canada’s ambassador to the United Nations, told reporters Thursday in New York.
Rae acknowledged Canada's significant contributions to the war effort so far, including taking in thousands of Ukrainians who are fleeing the war and providing more than $1.8 billion in military aid, equipment, and supplies.
Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are expected to discuss how Canada can further assist Ukraine in defending itself against Russia, 19 months after rockets started raining down on Kyiv.
