OTTAWA - Prime Minister Mark Carney says the leadership of U.S. President Donald Trump is "creating the opportunity to end Russia's illegal war in Ukraine."

In a statement released Saturday, the day after Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Carney praised the U.S. administration's efforts to end the war.

"Robust and credible security guarantees are essential to any just and lasting peace. I welcome the openness of the United States to providing security guarantees as part of Coalition of the Willing’s efforts," Carney said in the statement.

"Canada is co-ordinating closely with President Zelenskyy and our partners in the Coalition of the Willing to intensify our steadfast support for Ukraine and our shared commitment to its peace and security.”
