According to Reuters, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly will visit Kyiv this week to reaffirm support for Ukrainian sovereignty and reinforce efforts to deter “aggressive actions” by Russia. Joly will meet with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal and travel to the west of the country to speak to a 200 person strong Canadian training mission that has been there since 2015. On Tuesday, Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and “emphasized that any military incursion into Ukraine would have serious consequences, including coordinated sanctions,” Trudeau’s office said.
