Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир... V @ZelenskyyUa Warmest congratulations to @MarkJCarney and the entire Canadian people on Canada Day. This day celebrates a nation that has become a shining example of unity, democracy, and the defense of freedom. Throughout its history, Canada has become home to many Ukrainians, who today form one of the most influential Ukrainian diasporas in the world. Canada stands with Ukraine in our most difficult times, providing financial and defense assistance, humanitarian support, and playing a vital role in ramping up pressure on Russia through sanctions. We are deeply grateful to all Canadians for this unwavering commitment and valuable contribution. Together, we are stronger. Together, we stand for the values that unite our nations. Happy Canada Day!
