She said this during an online discussion of the Kyiv Security Forum held on Friday, December 18, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

For this, Ukraine should follow the path of reforms, including of the justice system, the ambassador stressed.

"Reform of the judicial system is the area in which we must continue to work and properly promote it in Ukraine. It is crucial for Ukrainian citizens and for bilateral relations if we want to strengthen them, especially trade relations,” Galadza said.

The ambassador also noted that Canada will continue to support Ukraine's territorial integrity.
