TORONTO, ON – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says students should pressure their political representatives to provide more support to his country to help fight the ongoing Russian invasion.
Speaking virtually to an in-person audience at the University of Toronto on Wednesday, Zelenskyy says Ukraine needs more weapons, financial support, humanitarian aid, and permanent sanctions on Russia.
He says students can go to rallies and use social media accounts and communication with their friends to remind people of the tragedies that are happening in Ukraine, nearly four months after Russia’s invasion of the country began.
Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says Canada has committed $1.87 billion in financial assistance to Ukraine, of which $1.5 billion has already been delivered to the country.
