Freeland Joins Zelenskyy’s Team as Economic Adviser

Former federal minister Chrystia Freeland was appointed Monday as an economic adviser by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has appointed former Canadian deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland as an economic adviser, strengthening Ukraine’s efforts to stabilize and rebuild its economy during the ongoing conflict with Russia.

Freeland, who has held senior roles including Canada’s finance minister and foreign affairs minister, has long been a prominent supporter of Ukraine and has deep personal ties to the country. Her new role will focus on economic development, investment attraction, and long‑term reconstruction planning.

Zelenskyy highlighted the importance of bolstering Ukraine’s economic resilience, noting that the country must be prepared both for rapid recovery if diplomatic progress accelerates and for sustained endurance should the war continue. Freeland has previously emphasized Ukraine’s potential to become a major economic force by pursuing reforms and leveraging international partnerships.

Her appointment signals a continued push to strengthen Ukraine’s financial strategy as it navigates one of the most challenging periods in its modern history.
