Canada and Ukraine, leaders re-affirm co-operation and unity in Ottawa

Canada and Ukraine cemented their commitment to each other in speeches by Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko to a joint sitting of the House of Commons and the Senate in Ottawa on Wednesday (September 17).

Both leaders underlined the historic connection of the two countries and the fact that more than a million Canadians trace their roots to Ukraine. The two leaders also underlined the need for Ukrainian sovereignty and the threat from Russia.
