President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko counts on assistance of G7 countries in the issue of returning Crimea to the sovereignty of Ukraine.

"I consider G7 as a platform that will help us, the international group of friends to terminate the occupation of Crimea," Poroshenko said at a joint press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Toronto.

Poroshenko noted Ukraine counts on Canada during its presidency in G7 [from 2018].

"Thanks to the chairmanship of G7, Canada could play an even more important role in ensuring peace and stability in Ukraine and Europe," Poroshenko stated.
