An agreement on Hydrogen and more support for Ukraine were among the announcements that accompanies von der Leyen’s visit to Canada.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen addressed the Canadian Parliament, culminating a visit that included announcements of a hydrogen agreement and more support for Ukraine.
And in a joint press release, both Canada and the European Commission denounced Russia’s war crimes:
“Noting the one-year anniversary of Ukraine’s successful defence against Russia’s illegal full-scale war of aggression, the Leaders reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. They condemned Russia’s egregious violations of the UN Charter and international humanitarian law, from the indiscriminate attacks on civilian infrastructure, to the forced deportation of Ukrainian children and torture of prisoners of war. The Leaders agreed on the need to ensure accountability for atrocities committed, including war crimes. They reiterated their support for international accountability efforts, including investigations by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court and the Commission of Inquiry established by the UN Human Rights Council.”
