“We are convinced that we can make significant progress in this direction with Canada,” Shevchenko noted.
According to him, the need to strengthen military support for Ukraine is also understood in the United States.
“Many in Washington understand the enormous need for more sanctions against Russia and assistance to Ukraine with defensive weapons,” the ambassador said.
He is confident that the position of the United States and Canada, which have refrained from taking these steps, will change.
“There is a growing consensus that pressure on Russia needs to be increased,” Shevchenko emphasized.
Earlier, Shevchenko said that Ukraine needs Canada's lethal weapons just as much as it did in 2014, when it first made such a request.
