Trudeau, Canadian ministers makes surprise visit to Kyiv, Ukraine

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has just made a surprise visit to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.

The brief trip was supposed to be kept under wraps until after Trudeau left Ukraine, but local officials and media broke the embargo Sunday morning.

During the visit, he is expected to meet in person with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Ukrainian forces continue to push back Russian soldiers in a stunning show of courage and defiance that has galvanized supporters around the world.

What the two leaders will discuss is not yet clear.

Global News' Crystal Goomansingh reports from Kyiv.

i wish he stayed there and never came back

[ccink]

He was able to fly out to talk to these ppl in a foreign country yet couldn't go 20yrds outside his own office to talk to the Freedom Convoy... Interesting

[Scroowball]

I hope our Prime Minister lectures everyone over there on how this war is affecting climate change. Make sure to hide your trucks because you might scare him.

Look up the full video of trudeau attempting to put up the flag in Ukraine. It's symbolic of the past seven years.

You can tell how dangerous the war zone is by all the world leaders visits
Remember when they all met in Paris in the 40s....

Ya a lot of good Truedummy is going to do over there in Ukraine! He can’t even take care of Canada

[missf]

I guess climate change isn't such a big deal after all with all this unnecessary flying around in jets. Its just a problem for us peasants

Laundering Canadian taxpayers dollars? 1 for U 1000 for me just like we charity!

Wears a mask for show in Canada 🇨🇦 with a 90% vaccination rate for show but wears no mask in the Ukraine 🇺🇦 with only a 35% vaccination rate.
Do any of you see something wrong with that ?

send him to afghanistan next to stand up for womans rights

[grahamketcheson]

Maybe Trudeau, Freeland and Jolie should stay there and help Zolensky out a bit more. None of them would be too missed in Canada.

[kingarthur]

Not going to show the whole video where he can't get the flag up? Shame. It's very symbolic.

[rickmartins]

Trudeau's carbon footprint must make "Sasquatch" envious.

[dylanbacklund]

Is he going to give Putin tips on seizing Ukrainian assets and vehicles after the conflict he's got some expertise there.

[BudzzableRides]

Using the hardships of others for his photo opportunity again, how utterly disgusting!

[Praylak]

Anyone else find it strange how all these leaders are making it in and out of Kyiv just for photo ops? I'm really amazed that the Russians are not shooting these planes down.

[georgesimon]

How is that carbon footprint going JT.

[ShortsHound]

nice political media posturing ... and what was the carbon cost of this unscheduled private flight?

[darrylcote]

Corrupt politicians meeting fellow corrupt officials.. what a joke!

[stephanieyoung]

Tell him to stay there, he’s not welcome in Canada
