Russian Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov was summoned to the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the topic of the conversation has not yet been disclosed. The diplomat told RIA Novosti about this.

“They call again today at the Foreign Ministry. By 16.00 (00.00 Moscow time Tuesday),” the ambassador said, noting that the topic of the upcoming conversation is still unknown.

According to the agency, the last time Stepanov was summoned to the Canadian Foreign Ministry last week was due to a post on the embassy's Twitter account with a crossed-out rainbow flag and the caption that the family consists of a man, a woman and children.

Prior to this, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly, in an interview with The Guardian, said that NATO was determined to support Ukraine in this "difficult" winter.
