During a surprise visit to Kyiv on Sunday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and took part in a ceremony commemorating the re-opening of Canada's embassy.

Canada has announced a one-year suspension of trade levies on Ukrainian goods.

The visit was not mentioned ahead of time, and it was not on Trudeau's daily schedule. He was accompanied by Chrystia Freeland, the Deputy Prime Minister, and Mélanie Joly, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

According to a statement released by the Canadian prime minister's office, the visit was intended to send "a resounding message to the globe that we continue to stand in solidarity with Ukraine and its people," according to a statement released by the Canadian prime minister's office.

Trudeau assured Zelensky of Ottawa's "unwavering support for Ukraine and continuous commitment to assist in any way possible" during their bilateral.

They also talked about the situation in Ukraine and the need for further international assistance, as well as "global efforts to impose strong and long-term sanctions on Russia" in response to its war on Ukraine.

Trudeau also went to Irpin, where he "saw firsthand the indiscriminate savagery" of the "illegal war."

"Canada is leading efforts to hold them accountable for war crimes and other severe human rights breaches." At the same time, the Prime Minister experienced Ukrainians' strength and perseverance, and despite Russian efforts, Kyiv remains strong and proud today," according to the statement.

"As Russia's unlawful and unjustified war on Ukraine continues, Canada will remain committed to supporting Ukraine and its people." I'd want to represent my gratitude to President Zelensky for hosting this visit and for his leadership. President Zelensky is defending the ideals at the heart of democracies alongside Ukrainians," Trudeau remarked.

Trudeau and Zelensky also attended the G7 Leaders' Meeting, which "celebrated the end of World War II in Europe."
