Ukraine president welcomes Canadian loan as boosting European security

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday thanked Canada for its decision to loan 120 million Canadian dollars ($95.6 million) to help Ukraine in its standoff with Russia.

"Our two nations share the view that the European security is impossible without Ukraine's security," Zelenskiy said in a tweet.

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country was also looking at other ways to support Kyiv as a crisis with Russia deepens.
