Volodymyr Zelensky, through a statement issued late Friday by the Ukrainian Embassy in Ottawa, says the loan represents another example of the "special partnership" between the two countries.
The brief statement, written by Andrii Bukvych, Ukraine's charge d'affaires to Canada, says Ukraine is grateful to Canada for working with international partners to provide financial support and make it clear Russian aggression "is absolutely unacceptable." The statement goes on to say Ukraine remains optimistic about receiving other support, which could include unlocking export financing tools and technical assistance in fighting ongoing cyberattacks.
Earlier on Friday, the embassy issued a blunt statement calling on Canada to provide weapons to Ukraine's military and to impose further sanctions on Russia. That statement was Ukraine's initial response to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's announcement of the loan, which he billed as one of the "top things" Ukrainian officials had asked for during their meeting earlier in the week with Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly.

If the Ukraine changes their name to Bombardier they could alot more and not have to pay it back.
Countries have to step up and help in situations like this, in whatever way they can. I'm happy that Canada has decided to stand up and stand out as supporting Ukraine against this Russian threat.
