Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday he had appointed former Liberal minister Chrystia Freeland as economic development adviser, citing her experience attracting investment.
“At present, Ukraine needs to strengthen its internal resilience, both for the sake of its recovery if diplomacy yields results as quickly as possible, and to strengthen our defense if, due to the delays of our partners, it takes more time to end this war,” Zelenskyy wrote on X.
Freeland, of Ukrainian descent, served as deputy prime minister between 2019 and 2024. She has long been one of Canada’s most vocal opponents of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
In September 2025, she announced that she was leaving the firm.
Prime Minister Mark Carney asked him to serve as Canada’s new special representative for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
