Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "While in Canada, I was glad to meet with Ukrainian World Congress President Paul Grod. We discussed cooperation with Ukrainian communities in Canada and other countries.  I praised the Ukrainian communities in Canada for their strong voice and active efforts to advance Ukraine’s interests and rally additional support.  Next year must be the year of strengthening unity among the entire Ukrainian nation at home and abroad. I also thanked the Ukrainian World Congress for raising 75 million dollars in 70 countries to support Ukraine’s Defense Forces since 2022, including almost two million raised for the brigades supported by MFA of Ukraine."
