Former federal minister Chrystia Freeland this week said Ukraine can become an economic juggernaut and boost European economies by taking up the opportunities it missed after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Her comments come as Ottawa pledges another $235 million for Ukraine through the NATO military alliance, and as the world watches for the latest iteration of a Washington-brokered deal to end Russia’s war on Ukraine.
Freeland spoke Tuesday at a Toronto conference aimed at drumming up investment in Ukraine. It appeared to be her first major speech in Canada since Prime Minister Mark Carney appointed her as special envoy for the reconstruction of Ukraine.

Freeland’s appointment is a clear conflict of interest. Canada has taken a back seat to Ukraine’s grift machine.
