KYIV, Ukraine—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on June 10 during an unannounced visit to Kyiv to show Canada’s support for the fight against Russia as there were signs a long−awaited spring counteroffensive could be underway.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland joined him on the trip, which began with the laying of a wreath at the Wall of Remembrance at St. Michael’s Golden−Domed Monastery. Freeland also placed some flowers at the wall, which features photos of Ukrainians who have died while defending their homeland. Both met Ukrainian soldiers there for the event.
