Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has visited Irpin, Kyiv region of Ukraine on Sunday, Irpin Mayor Oleksandr Markushyn said on Facebook.
“I just had the honor of speaking with the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau. He came to Irpin to see with his own eyes all the horror that the Russian occupiers have done to our city. And, of course, he was shocked. He saw that those burnt and completely destroyed were not military facilities, but the homes of Irpin’s residents, who until recently enjoyed life and had their own plans for the future,” Markushyn said.
He thanked Trudeau for Canada’s support for Ukraine. Markushyn also noted that he believes in further cooperation between the two countries in rebuilding Ukrainian cities after the victory.
“I hope for the support of Mr. Justin Trudeau in organizing the efforts of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada to rebuild infrastructure facilities in Irpin. Irpin will send respective official letters in the near future,” Markushyn added.
“I’m in Ukraine with @cafreeland and @melaniejoly today. We’re here to show our support for Ukraine and its people. Our message to President @ZelenskyyUa and Ukrainians is this: Canada will always stand shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine. More to come on our visit,” Canadian prime minister Trudeau said on Twitter.
