Ukraine President Zelensky Ends His Trip To Canada

 

CBC News: Russia's violence 'must not go unpunished,' Zelenskyy tells Canadian parliamentarians  

Liberals announce $650M more in military aid for Ukraine, spread over several years 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered an impassioned speech to parliamentarians Friday calling on Canada and other western allies to stick by his country through the long, bloody road to victory. 

He addressed a joint meeting of the Canadian Parliament Friday following meetings in the United States, where he appealed for more weapons and rebuked Russia before the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council. 

"Life and justice must prevail," Zelenskyy told the House of Commons in a speech that received at least a dozen standing ovations.

WNU Editor: He got some military aid from Ottawa, but it is spread out over 3 years .... Canada pledges C$650 million in Ukraine aid during Zelensky visit (France24). 

I was in Toronto yesterday to meet a member of his delegation. I am a part of group in Montreal that has been shipping (at no cost to Ukraine) vital pharmaceuticals that Ukraine needs. It is not much, but it is help that people need. 

We have been doing this since the start of the war, but unfortunately our last 3 shipments have disappeared .... hence having the meeting yesterday (thanks to my cousin who still has some pull with the Zelensky government). The meeting was very short, but he promised to look into it, and to not give up. 

I am skeptical. The Ukrainian official I met looked stress, tired, impatient, and dispirited. But the strangest part of our meeting was that we talked in Russian on his insistence. I guess he did not like how I was taking my time to make my points clear in the Ukrainian language (which I admit I am not very good at), and he needed to be somewhere else ASAP. 

Sighhh .... this is not how you should treat people who are helping you. If this is how their foreign officials are behaving , I can now understand why some EU states are slowly walking away from the mess that is  the Ukraine war.
