Supporting Ukraine is the best thing you can do – Foreign minister to Canadian electorates

Ukraine’s foreign minister has asked Canadian voters to help his country by giving more support as it’s been two years since Russia invaded.

Dmytro Kuleba talked to Vassy Kapelos on CTV’s Question Period in an interview that will be shown on Sunday. He said that the war in Ukraine is about the future of a free country and the way the world works together.

“You have your own problems at home, you have your own fights at home,” Kuleba said when asked about how worried he is about Canadian Conservative MPs voting against a new trade deal between Canada and Ukraine.

“This is your business, but I want to talk to the people in Canada who vote for different parties,” he said. “The most helpful thing you can do is to give your support to Ukraine. ”

He also said to Kapelos that Ukraine cannot afford to be concerned about the politics of other countries.

“We’re not in a time of peace for politics, when politicians can choose a problem and use it for their own benefit,” he said. “We’re not using it for fun because the situation in Ukraine is about people’s lives. ”

Kuleba gave an interview right after European Union countries agreed to give Ukraine a new aid package worth 50 billion euros (C$81 billion).

He said that the United States Congress is stuck on whether to give more help to Ukraine. The writer hopes that American lawmakers will do what the EU is doing and give more support.

Kuleba hopes that people in Washington will wake up and read the news from Europe this morning. “The EU’s decision will make talks in the US better. “

When asked how probable he thinks that is, Kuleba said he wouldn’t guess.

“I’m not very good at reading tarot cards. ” Kuleba said, “I don’t guess. ” “I work hard every day to make things happen. ” -> “I work hard every day to make things happen.

“People were starting to question if the decision made today would work,” he said. “People are questioning the Congress’s decision, but we are still working hard to make it happen. ”

Kuleba also said the Ukrainian government will work with whoever becomes the next president of the United States. The vote happened, even though Donald Trump didn’t want a new aid agreement.

The foreign minister said Ukraine supports the decision of American voters and his country can’t afford to focus on other countries’ domestic choices because it’s too busy dealing with war.

“He said we don’t have enough money for that. ” “We are in a battle. “
