Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday makes his first visit to close ally Canada, where he is guaranteed a warmer welcome than he received from some U.S. politicians skeptical about providing more military aid.
Canada is one of Kyiv's staunchest supporters in the war against Russia and is set to announce during the visit that it is sending more weapons to Ukraine, according to a government official.
Zelenskiy is due to address parliament in Ottawa and then hold a news conference with Trudeau. He spoke to legislators virtually in March 2022. "So I think it's appropriate for the president to be expecting and asking more from his Canadian partners," he said in an interview. "If friends of Ukraine want Ukraine to win the war, then the only way that happens is with renewed and more military support."
Although there are no such divisions in Canada, it does not have the deep pockets or military reserves of the United States, Germany and other major backers.
