Ukrainian president praises relationship with Trudeau but mum on support for Security Council seat

In an exclusive, wide-ranging interview with The Globe and Mail, President Volodymyr Zelensky talks about dealing with Putin, Trump and Iran amidst the pandemic

Mr. Trump, the host of the next G7 meeting in September, called the G7 “a very outdated group of countries” and said last month that he will invite Russia, as well as India, South Korea and Australia, to a gathering focused on the question of how to deal with China. It would be the first time Mr. Putin has been invited to attend since the Crimea takeover.

“Ukraine has always and will continue to support Canada. Regarding the voting and the election process at the United Nations, I cannot say because that is confidential information,” Mr. Zelensky said. “I know that Canada wanted very much to be elected and to be on the Security Council of the United Nations. Well, it did not happen this time, but what is important for Canada is also important for Ukraine because the success of Canada is the success of Ukraine.

Mr. Zelensky said he hoped the Canada-Ukraine relationship would continue to evolve to include more foreign direct investment and, eventually, visa-free travel between the two countries.
