Trudeau in Kyiv to sign $3 billion security deal on second anniversary of Russian invasion

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau signed a deal committing Canada to a $3.02-billion security assistance package for Ukraine

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau signed a deal committing Canada to a $3.02-billion security assistance package for Ukraine, a milestone event to mark the second anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion.

He was joined by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen and Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, all of whom were also in the war-torn country to show solidarity.

Trudeau's visit — his third to the country since the eruption of major hostilities — comes as Western support for the government of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wavers and billions of dollars in military and economic aid is being held up in the U.S. Congress.
