Champagne: Canada will always stand in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty

Canada will always stand in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

“6 years ago Russia invaded and illegally annexed Crimea. Canada will always stand in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Crimea is Ukraine,” Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs François-Philippe Champagne posted on Twitter.

Since January 2014, Canada has allocated more than $785 million in assistance to Ukraine.

At the end of January this year, Canada extended sanctions against Russians involved in organizing illegal elections in the occupied Crimea.
