Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Ruslan Stefanchuk and Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons Francis Scarpaleggia discussed issues of just peace and security guarantees for Ukraine during their meeting.

Stefanchuk reported this on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

Stefanchuk emphasized that no concessions regarding Ukraine’s territory or sovereignty are possible.

The discussion also covered strengthening sanctions against Russia, with particular attention on the return of Ukrainian children illegally taken by Russia from occupied territories.

The meeting included talks on the future work of the international Crimean Platform. Stefanchuk invited his Canadian colleague to participate in its Fourth Parliamentary Summit, which is scheduled to be held in Stockholm, Sweden. They also discussed prospects for Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic integration.

Stefanchuk expressed gratitude to Canada for its consistent political, economic, and military support for Ukraine since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

“We especially appreciate parliamentary decisions that condemn the crimes of the Kremlin regime and reaffirm support for our NATO path,” he noted.
