Russia has stolen thousands of Ukrainian children, depriving them of their childhoods, their families, and their culture. As Canada continues to help the return of children, we must also ensure they have the tools to address trauma and reintegrate when they come home.

In the face of brutality and terror, Ukrainians are consistently working on reform, recovery, and rebuilding of their daily lives. I met with members of civil society organizations to learn more about their efforts and how best we can continue to support them.

Four years ago, Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, shattering lives and threatening global stability.

Kyiv’s Wall of Remembrance is a stark reminder of the sacrifices of countless Ukrainians. Canada will always stand with Ukraine in its fight for sovereignty.

Ukraine has had the largest number of women in the world involved in active combat since WW2. The women I met in Kyiv at #ArmWomenNow are inspirations, fighting for their country on the front lines and for better supports for women who have returned home.

Ukrainians are emerging from a long hard winter, spent in the cold and the dark, as Russia continues to attack energy infrastructure. Resources like generators that provide backup power are essential. Canada’s support helps provide a lifeline for the most vulnerable.

At the Rehabilitation Forces of Ukraine Centre I heard from veterans, including former prisoners of war, who are receiving physical, psychological and social support. I’m grateful to them for sharing their stories and for defending not only their homeland, but freedom for us all.

Au Centre des forces de réadaptation de l’Ukraine, j’ai rencontré des vétérans, dont ex-prisonniers de guerre, qui reçoivent un soutien physique, psychologique et social. Je les remercie pour leurs témoignages et pour défendre la liberté de tous.

Civilians are bearing the brunt of the conflict in Lebanon and humanitarian needs are growing. Today, with @AnitaAnandMP, I announced Canada is providing critical aid — including food, medical care, shelter and water — working with trusted partners to reach those most in need.

Humanitarian conditions in Cuba are deteriorating, and Canada is stepping up to provide relief. Today, we announced that we're accelerating $8M for urgent food security and nutrition support, working with trusted partners to ensure our aid reaches the Cuban people directly.

For four long years, Ukrainians have bravely protected their country from Russia’s brutal invasion. Tonight, alongside allies and friends, we commemorated their courage and resolve. Canada will always defend a sovereign and free Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇨🇦

Great to be in Ottawa celebrating #IDW2026 with partners and friends. Prosperity is built through partnership — by reducing poverty, advancing gender equality, and strengthening resilience. This #IDW2026, let’s keep building a more secure, sustainable future together.

Good coffee starts long before the cup.
This #IDW2026, we’re launching Coffee for Communities, a project with @TFOcan and matched 1:1 by @TimHortons . This will support sustainable and resilient coffee supply chains, creating benefits from coffee farms to Canadian communities.

Canada’s partnership with @FAO is providing climate-smart agriculture training to help farmers in Vietnam rebuild and regrow critical crops after a severe typhoon season. Today in Lao Cai, I met farmers benefitting from Canadian aid and saw their resilience in action.

With Canadian support, women entrepreneurs in Northern Vietnam are improving livelihoods by producing & exporting cinnamon, star anise, & spices. I visited Vinasamex & saw how social impact businesses are powering local economies while delivering high quality products to Canada.

At Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve near Ho Chi Minh City, nature protects cities from storms. Canadian tech is ready to take it one step further, using AI, satellite data, and carbon tracking to predict climate impacts and turn conservation into economic opportunity.

[Randeep S. Sarai @randeepssarai]

When women lead, communities grow resilient and economies thrive. I met inspiring women leaders from PEKKA and @Soliper_SP — grassroots change makers who, with Canadian assistance and aid, are able to create sustainable livelihoods while advancing gender equality.

[Randeep S. Sarai @randeepssarai]

Clean energy can power growth. Supported by Canada and @ADB_HQ, Vena Energy solar plant is one of Indonesia’s first private-sector solar projects. Indonesia’s renewable transition is unlocking inclusive economic opportunities for local communities while fighting climate change.

[Randeep S. Sarai @randeepssarai]

In Indonesia, Berani means “brave” and that’s the best way to describe the women I met today. With Canadian partnership, local youth and community leaders are driving change — ending child marriage, preventing female genital mutilation, and advancing the rights of women & girls.

[Foreign Policy CAN @CanadaFP]

In 2025, as the world changed dramatically, Canadians stepped up. This year, we chose to stay open to the world. Canada is committed to leaving future generations a safer, more prosperous, more inclusive and more peaceful world.
