Canada has sent 50 observers for the presidential elections in Ukraine, Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland has said.

Fair and just elections are a big priority. We spent $25 million to support the Ukrainian elections. Fifty Canadian observers have come to Ukraine this week, she said, speaking at a Ukrainian lunch organized by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation on the occasion of the Munich Security Conference on Feb. 16.

According to her, Canada’s support is assistance in the fight against disinformation.

I think that Ukraine daily suffers from external intervention. This intervention is direct – part of Ukraine is occupied, the war continues, Freeland explained.
