Shmyhal, Freeland meet with Ukrainian community in Canada

Ukraine's goal of defeating the aggressor country and rebuilding a strong and democratic Ukraine as part of the Eurean Union and NATO remains unchanged, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal wrote on Telegram.

He said this at a joint meeting of Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland with representatives of the Ukrainian community in Canada, according to Ukrinform.

"I thanked [Freeland] for defending Ukraine's interests. Our goal remains unchanged. It is the victory over the aggressor and the rebuilding of a strong, democratic Ukraine as part of the EU and NATO. Our country needs the sidarity of every Ukrainian around the world," Shmyhal said.

He added that Canada had given a lot to Ukrainians but Ukrainians had also given a lot to Canada.

"Now all Ukrainians are as united as possible. Everyone is working on their own front. We need to speak with one strong voice and call on the world to stand in sidarity with Ukraine. I am grateful to the leaders of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress and the Canada-Ukraine Foundation (CUF), as well as to Ms. Freeland, for their systematic support. Thanks to everyone, Canada has been, is and will be a reliable strategic partner and friend of Ukraine," Shmyhal said.
