Canada and France will jointly help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression in cyberspace.
This is stated in a joint Franco-Canadian declaration adopted during the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to Canada.
"Our armed forces will continue to deepen strategic cooperation in cyber defense to support Ukraine. We are firmly committed to working with Ukraine and our partners to help Ukraine defend its sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity from Russian aggression, both in the traditional domain and in cyberspace," the statement reads.
It is noted that Canada and France will also "strengthen cooperation in training and providing Ukraine with military equipment within the framework of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group."
Paris and Ottawa also promised to "continue efforts to return Ukrainian children deported to Russia."
"Canada and France will support Ukraine for as long as necessary to stop Russia's war of conquest, which grossly violates international law, including the UN Charter. Our support for Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity within internationally recognized borders is unwavering," the document emphasizes.
