Zelenskyy secures more support from Canada

Ukraine's president met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who pledged additional aid to the conflict-hit country, as Volodymyr Zelenskyy completed the third leg in a tour aimed at bolstering international support. Trudeau vowed that he would continue to stand 'strongly and unequivocally' with the pro-Western country, unveiling on Friday an additional 650 million Canadian dollars ($481 million) over three years. 

Zelenskyy, who landed late Thursday in Ottawa, earlier this week addressed the United Nations and in Washington held meetings with the U.S. Congress and President Joe Biden, who pledged the imminent arrival of American tanks to boost Ukraine's arsenal. Canada is home to the world's second-largest Ukrainian diaspora and Zelenskyy, in a speech to parliament, expressed thanks for the backing given to Kyiv since the conflict began.

"When we call on the world to support us, it is not just about an ordinary conflict," he said, "It is about saving the lives of millions of people -- literally our salvation."

Zelenskyy concluded his remarks with an Inuktitut word -- ajuinata -- taught to him by Canada's governor general Mary Simon that roughly translates to: "Don't give up, stay strong against all odds." 

Trudeau's pledge for more support includes 50 armored vehicles and training for F-16 fighter pilots, and comes on top of the $6.6 billion (Can$8.9billion) in aid that Ottawa has already contributed.
