Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is coming to southern Alberta in June for the G7 summit, according to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Carney posted the news on social media Wednesday.

“I spoke with @ZelenskyyUA this afternoon,” he wrote. “Ukraine has shown its commitment to peace. Russia must come to the table in good faith.

“I look forward to welcoming President Zelenskyy to the G7 in Kananaskis, Alberta this summer,” he said, continuing. “This war must end -- and Canada will continue our efforts to bring about freedom, peace and security for Ukraine.”

On the Prime Minister of Canada’s website, a statement added that “The two leaders agreed that a durable peace can only be achieved with Ukraine at the table.”

The G7 takes place Sunday, June 15, through Tuesday, June 17, in Kananaskis.
