Firstpost  

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal will visit Canada in the coming weeks and the government in Kyiv is not divulging the date of the trip for security reasons Kyiv: Planning to seek more arms and ammunition and armoured vehicles for a spring counter-offensive against invading Russian troops, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal will visit Canada soon, according to media reports that emerged on Friday. In an interview with a Canadian newspaper, Shmyhal said that he was not concerned about the lack of new military aid allocated for Ukraine in Canada’s federal budget, but he hoped the country would provide more aid among other forms of assistance. The Ukrainian prime minister was quoted by the media as saying Ukraine would also like Canada to offer war risk insurance to Canadian companies investing in Ukraine to support reconstruction and foreign investment. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government has been one of Ukraine’s most vocal international supporters and provided Kyiv with over C$5 billion in financial and military aid.
