00:00We're going to be in the road.

00:30Guys, you're welcome.

01:00I would like to start by condemning, in the strongest terms, the latest outrage, barbarism

01:23from Russia, and express my deep condolences, and those of the Canadian people, to the families

01:29in Kyiv, who were affected.

01:33This underscores the importance of standing in total solidarity with Ukraine, with the

01:40Ukrainian people.

01:43And we had a discussion last night among the G7 leaders.

01:47The President and I will discuss more, and then, of course, we'll have the direct discussion

01:52in a moment together.

01:55But we underscored the importance of using maximum pressure against Russia, who has refused

02:01to come to the table.

02:02The President has led, unconditionally, to come to the table in search of peace.

02:08And maximum pressure includes financial pressure.

02:10And Canada is announcing today several measures – sanctions, first and foremost – against

02:18the number of individuals in Russia, against over 40 entities in Russia and beyond, that

02:24are trying to contribute to the evasion of sanctions.

02:27The sanctioning of over 200 vessels in the Shadow Fleet that Russia is using, again, to

02:32try to evade these sanctions – that's the first thing.

02:35The second is we are providing additional military assistance – drones, helicopters, broader

02:41munitions – over $2 billion worth of assistance directly to Ukraine.

02:47And thirdly, we are dispersing the next tranche of the loan based on the frozen Russian assets

02:55– over $2 billion as well.

02:58This is our contribution.

02:59We'll be working with our European and other allies for their contributions to provide

03:04the support.

03:05And to be absolutely clear, the support will be unwavering until we get a just peace for

03:12Ukraine and Ukrainian people.

03:13Thanks so much.

03:14Yes, it's a big tragedy for us, and we need support from our allies, and I'm here.

03:27And thank you for the military package.

03:29It's important for our soldiers to be strong at the battlefield, to stay strong until Russia

03:35will not be ready for the peace negotiations.

03:38We are ready for the peace negotiations, unconditional ceasefire.

03:43I think it's very important, but for this we need pressure.

03:46And of course, I want to speak with the Prime Minister today about sanctions – additional

03:50sanctions.

03:51And thanks for the real unwavering support from your side, from all the Canadians to our

03:58people.

04:00Thank you very much.
