Biden, Trudeau discuss support for Ukraine, sanctions against Russia

That’s according to a readout published by the White House, Ukrinform reports.

"Both leaders underscored their commitment to continue holding Russia accountable for its brutal actions in Ukraine, and reviewed their ongoing efforts to provide security assistance to the government of Ukraine and economic and humanitarian aid to the millions of Ukrainians affected by the violence," reads the statement.

It is noted that the U.S. President praised the close cooperation with Canada since the Russian onslaught in Ukraine, as well as Canada’s leadership for imposing sanctions on Russia.

As Ukrinform reported, on February 24, Russia launched an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, starting to massively bombard and shell peaceful towns and villages. Ukraine's defense forces have been resisting the Russian invaders and inflicting heavy losses on them.

The United States and the European Union have imposed economic sanctions against the Russian Federation to limit the Kremlin's capacity to continue the war.
