Canada will continue to support Ukraine as it battles against Russia’s invasion, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a phone call this week.

“As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine enters its second winter, Ukrainians can count on Canada’s support—for as long as it takes,” Mr. Trudeau said in a post on X on New Year’s Day. “That’s the message I shared on the phone with [Mr. Zelenskyy] this morning.”
