Ukraine President visits Canada

Canada to request further aid and express gratitude for
Canada’s support so far in the country’s ongoing war with
Russia. As part of his visit, he addressed Parliament in
Ottawa and met with several individuals, including politicians,
dignitaries, and members of the Ukrainian community. It was his

opportunity to talk about our presence in Ukraine and provide
his perspective on future ag business opportunities in the
