Quote: "In March, Canada sent $2 billion in urgent budget financing support to Ukraine at a time […] when the U.S. has been unable to step up and provide support for Ukraine. We were there to fill the gap."

Details: Freeland noted that Canadians can be proud because their country "is absolutely doing its part to resist Russia" by supporting Ukraine in "NATO's biggest fight".

Background: Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly believes that after the US presidential election, Canada will continue to support Ukraine.
