Zelensky will address the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, then travel to Washington and Toronto, where he will thank Canada for its support
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will visit Canada later this week to rally support as the Russian invasion of his country grinds on, sources told The Globe and Mail.
Serhiy Leshchenko, an advisor to Mr. Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, said on Tuesday that part of the message would be to say thank you to Canada “for being one of our main allies since independence, one of the strongest supporters of Ukraine.” It will be Mr. Zelensky’s second visit to Canada, and his first since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Mr. Zelensky previously visited Toronto, and met with Mr. Trudeau, at the Ukraine Reform Conference that was his first overseas trip after being elected in 2019.
Mykhailo Podolyak, a top advisor, wouldn’t confirm or deny Mr. Zelensky’s planned trip to Canada, but said in an interview Monday that Mr. Zelensky was heading to the United States to lobby for specific weapons – such as ATACMS long-range missile systems that could strike deep behind Russian lines – and to make the case for such assistance to skeptical members of Congress. Ukraine wasn’t seeking anything from Canada at the moment beyond continued support, Mr. Podolyak said.
