    There have always been a ton of Ukrainian diaspora in Canada, and we love them. Every Ukrainian I’ve met in Canada has been lovely. Even worked with a former Chernobyl liquidator, he luckily had no ill effects from the cleanup and had a very eccentric sense of humour.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Canadian TV showed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau meeting Mr Zelensky and the first lady on the runway in Ottawa.

    Mr Zelensky arrived from Washington where he had hoped to secure further funding but it is unclear if US Congress will back more aid.

    Earlier in the week, he urged world leaders to continue to support Ukraine to help fight off Russian forces at the United Nations in New York.

    Diplomatic tensions are on the rise, after Mr Zelensky criticised Poland, Slovakia and Hungary, for banning imports of Ukrainian grain.

    The president will address parliament again to plea for continued support from a country that has already provided weapons, tanks and training for Ukrainian soldiers.

    Many Republicans argue the money would be better spent on domestic issues, but during Mr Zelensky’s visit, President Biden approved further funding for Kyiv valued at £265m ($325m).
