He stressed that "meeting these veterans underscores the true cost of war -- and why our support is so vital."
"Through the Partnership Fund for a Resilience Ukraine, Canada is helping veterans transition to civilian life, ensuring they have the tools and opportunities for economic security and social inclusion," the minister said.
According to him, the determination of all patients was evident.
"When I asked one of them about his plans for the future, he told me he is going back to the frontline as soon as he is healed," Hussen added.
