Trudeau wrote this on his Twitter account.

"Congratulations to Volodymyr Zelensky on the results of the Ukrainian presidential election. I'm looking forward to working with you to continue strengthening the ties between Canada & Ukraine, and creating more opportunities for people in both our countries," he wrote.

He also thanked Canadian observers who monitored the elections in Ukraine.

"Thank you to the Canadians who are observers in the presidential elections in Ukraine - your commitment and hard work are important in supporting Ukrainian democracy," Trudeau said.
