The Polish president said in a tweet on Sunday: "Much appreciated conversation with Justin Trudeau. Poland and Canada continue their efforts and remain dedicated to territorial integrity and wellbeing of Ukraine, as well as freedom and democracy in Belarus."
He added: "We are on the same page on where the threats to the stability of the region come from."
Meanwhile, Trudeau's office said in a statement that the Canadian prime minister spoke with Poland's Duda on Sunday "to discuss security concerns in Eastern Europe."
Duda and Trudeau "discussed their shared concerns about the continuing buildup of Russian military forces in and around Ukraine, as well as Russia’s ongoing aggression and destabilization activities," the statement said.
It added that Trudeau "reaffirmed Canada’s steadfast support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and emphasized that any further military incursion into Ukraine would have serious consequences, including coordinated sanctions."
The two leaders "emphasized the importance of coordination and unity among allies" and "exchanged views on how best to support Ukraine, and both commented on the courage and determination of the Ukrainian people, especially in the face of continuing Russian military buildup along their borders," according to the statement.
