What would happen if Putin were to succeed? The consequences for us would be much more costly – in every respect – than our assistance for Ukraine. This is one reason why I today signed an agreement with Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський in which we commit to providing long-term support.

Our hearts go out to Kharkiv, a city that has suffered greatly from Russia’s attacks. Over the weekend, 7 people, including one family with 3 children, were killed. This is why we need to support Ukraine; to stop such horrific crimes.

Sometimes it’s hard to know how to help Ukrainians. Other times it’s easy - like ⬇️. I know Sasha from Here And Now, and I know he will make the most of your Toonie!

Around 110 Russian missiles and numerous drones were used to target civilians in Ukraine. A maternity ward, schools, hospitals, residential buildings, and commercial facilities were all targeted.

Today, millions of Ukrainians awoke to the loud sound of explosions. I wish those…

Between 2014 and 2022, Ukraine held about 200 rounds of talks with Russia.

During this period, 20 cease-fire agreements were reached, all of which were quickly violated by Russia.

None of the 200 rounds of talks or the 20 ceasefires have prevented…

The day of the free, the strong, and the dignified. The day of equals. Ukrainian men and women. In our entire country.
 
In this fight, everyone counts. Because the fight is for something that is important to everyone.

An independent Ukraine.

Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian grain silos are devastating for farmers in Ukraine — and for starving people around the world. So many families can be fed by this vital lifeline if Russia stops its cruel attacks and rejoins the Black Sea Grain Initiative.

I am thinking about 6-year-old Sophia. This angelic looking girl was killed by a ballistic missile while strolling on a summer weekend with her mother in the center of Chernihiv. Her mother screaming from the hospital that this is her only child and she wont to be able to…
