On June 1, the Embassy of Ukraine in Canada
@a_plakhotniuk, in cooperation with
@SwedeninCAN and the Embassy of Lithuania in Canada, held the 13th meeting of the Friends of Ukraine Group with a focus on the Ukraine Transport Support Fund (UTSF) - a recently launched joint initiative of Ukraine, Canada, Sweden, and Lithuania aimed at supporting the recovery and long-term development of Ukraine’s transport sector.
The discussion brought together Canada’s Minister of Transport and Leader of the Government in the House of Commons, the Honourable
@stevenmackinnon, representatives of
@Transport_gc,
@GAC_Corporate, the diplomatic community, as well as Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration of Ukraine - Minister for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine
@MinForUADev Oleksii Kuleba and Deputy Minister Serhiy Derkach, who joined virtually from Kyiv.
As Russia continues its brutal attacks against Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure, international support remains critical to rebuilding transport networks that connect communities, sustain economic activity, and support recovery efforts across the country.
We sincerely thank Canada, Sweden, and Lithuania for their partnership and leadership, and extend our special appreciation to Minister MacKinnon, the Ambassador of Sweden, Her Excellency Signe Burgstaller, and the Ambassador of Lithuania, His Excellency Egidijus Meilūnas, for their continued support of Ukraine and their active role in advancing the Ukraine Transport Support Fund.
Together, we are investing not only in infrastructure, but in Ukraine’s resilience, recovery, and future.
🇺🇦🤝🇨🇦🇸🇪🇱🇹
