Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba says he held a call with Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly to discuss "ways to stop Russian aggression" against Ukraine, APA reports citing BBC.

In a tweet, Kuleba said that he and Joly agreed that sanctions pressure on Russia will "increase".

"Canada supports Ukraine on all fronts," he added.

On Friday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced more sanctions on five Russian citizens - including Roman Abramovich - and said 32 Russian companies and government entities would be barred from receiving defence equipment or supplies.

Trudeau also said the Canadian government was looking at a number of options to help Ukrainian citizens and wouldn't rule out an airlift.
