Prime Minister Justin Trudeau raised the flag over the Canadian Embassy in Kyiv in May and announced it was reopening for business. But nearly three months on, Canada's ambassador to Ukraine is not back at her old desk, and is instead working at another location in Kyiv with her staff for security reasons.
Re-establishing a diplomatic presence in the capital has allowed Canada to work closely with Ukraine to support the country against Russia's illegal invasion and address problems such as food insecurity, as well as war crimes investigations, he said.
The attack ruined one building and damaged two others, he said, wounding 15 people, including civilians. Raising the Canadian flag above the Kostelna Street site, he said the ambassador would be back at her post within days.
