Turin, 10 Sept. (LaPresse/AP) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is in Canada for talks with Prime Minister Mark Carney. This is the latest in a series of international trips aimed at securing future support for Ukraine’s fight against the Russian invasion. Ukraine is under pressure due to the air war waged by Russia, which is using ballistic missiles and jet-powered drones to breach its defences. According to the Ukrainian authorities, Moscow’s attacks have targeted the country’s electricity grid ahead of winter, as part of a campaign designed to demoralise the civilian population. Recent efforts by the United States to end more than four years of fighting have not led to significant progress, although Washington-mediated talks between delegations from Moscow and Kyiv are expected to continue.
