A major international summit in Switzerland aimed at forging a path to peace in Ukraine concluded with over 80 countries, including Canada, endorsing a communiqué affirming Ukraine's territorial integrity. Canada played a key role, co-chairing a working group on humanitarian issues and pledging over $52 million in new aid.
