Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited Ukraine unannounced on Sunday, reopening the Canadian Embassy in Kyiv.

Trudeau will also meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the first time since Russia’s invasion began.

Trudeau was accompanied on the trip by Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly.

“The prime minister is in Ukraine to meet with President Zelenskyy and reaffirm Canada’s steadfast support for the Ukrainian people,” said Cameron Ahmad, Trudeau’s spokesman.

Canada began scaling down its diplomatic presence in Ukraine in late January as intelligence warned of an impending Russian invasion.

Representatives from most western countries fled Ukraine as the war erupted, but more than two dozen have already gone back, even as the conflict drags on.

Several of Canada’s G7 allies have already returned to Kyiv – France and Italy the third week of April, and the United Kingdom as of last week.

On Sunday, Trudeau, Freeland and Joly arrived at the embassy in Kyiv with a heavily armed security detail.

Larisa Galadza, Canada’s ambassador to Ukraine, joined them in a flag-raising ceremony. They ended up raising the flag at the side of the building after the first flagpole chosen turned out to be broken.

The Canadian Press was made aware of Trudeau’s trip on the condition it not be reported until it was made public, for security reasons.

The Associated Press reported that Jill Biden made a surprise visit to the western part of Ukraine today to meet Olena Zelenska, the first lady, for Mother’s Day.

Other world leaders have travelled to Kyiv in recent weeks to show solidarity with Ukraine, including British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also went to Kyiv last week.

The public itinerary for Trudeau posted Saturday suggested he would be in the National Capital Region Sunday and taking part in a meeting of G7 leaders on the situation in Ukraine. However, the itinerary was updated Sunday to note Trudeau’s presence in Kyiv.

The visit is taking place as dozens of Ukrainians are feared dead after a Russian bomb destroyed a school sheltering about 90 people in eastern Ukraine.

The governor of Luhansk province said Sunday that 30 people were rescued from the rubble of the school in the village of Bilohorivka but the rest probably didn’t survive.

Elsewhere, more explosions rocked the Black Sea port of Odesa.

Ukrainian soldiers making a last stand at a steel mill in the besieged city of Mariupol said they wouldn’t surrender following the evacuation of civilians from the sprawling site.
