Ukraine interested in expanding cooperation with Canada in defense
Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman spoke of Kyiv's desire to expand its cooperation with Canada in the field of security and defense.
"Delivery of assistance and the training of our Armed Forces in the defense sector is critical. Of course, we would like to expand our cooperation, both in the defense area and in the field of security, enhancing our interaction to the largest extent possible," Groysman said at a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Kyiv on Monday.
Groysman underlined that Ukraine is an exceptionally peaceful nation, adding that "the conflicts came to us from beyond".
"Our objective today is to create an appropriate level of defense so that anybody with aggressive plans would not even think of attacking Ukraine, and in order to make Ukraine strong," Groysman added.
Trudeau, for his part, underlined that Ukraine was able to achieve a sizable success in implementing reforms.
Canada intends to continue supporting Ukraine and its citizens, without whom any successful reforms are impossible, Trudeau said.
