It's been a day of major developments in Ukraine. Here's what happened:

• Ukraine claimed responsibility for a missile strike on the Russian Black Sea fleet headquarters in Crimea. Russia says one person is missing after the attack
• A source inside the Ukrainian Air Force told the BBC the type of missile used in the attack was supplied by the West
• One person died and 15 were injured, including a child, after a missile was shot down in the Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk
• Ukraine's President Zelensky received a standing ovation following his address to the Canadian parliament. It was his first trip to the country since war broke out
• Zelensky signed a free trade agreement with Canada's PM Justin Trudeau, and secured multi-year support including pilot training, tank maintenance, ammunition and demining support
• A ship carrying tonnes of Ukrainian grain safely left Ukrainian waters, only the second to do so after Russian ended a deal that would allow non-military ships safe passage

Here are a few of the best snapshots from Zelensky's trip to Ottawa, where he spoke to Canadian lawmakers and thanked them for their support in the country's defense from Russia.

In case you missed it, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been shoring up ongoing support from the Canadian government, his military attacked a major Russian hub in Crimea.

Here are the main things to know:

• Ukraine's military claimed responsibility for a strike on the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol earlier today
• Russia initially reported one serviceman had died in the attack, but later issued a statement saying one was missing
• A source from the Ukrainian Air Force told the BBC the missile was the kind supplied by Britain and France
• Sevastopol officials said the strike had shattered windows of nearby buildings and evacuated the area as they cleaned explosives from the site of the strike

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have just wrapped up a joint press conference.

Here’s what’s come out of it:

• The pair signed a free trade agreement before stepping up to speak
• Trudeau announced a further 63 Russian individuals and entities would be added to Canada’s sanctions list, and said there are G7 efforts underway to seize assets from the Central Russian Bank
• The Canadian PM also pledged multi-year support, which includes help training F-16 pilots, support for Leopard 2 tank maintenance and the supply of high-resolution camera drones and Nato-standard ammunition
• The Ukrainian president added that Canada would support demining efforts
• Zelensky said part of the purpose of his trip to Canada was to thank the country for its ongoing support in person

The final question regards fatigue setting in, as shown by the resistance in the US to further funding for Ukraine.

Trudeau says he understands it is a time of many global challenges – the impact of climate change, extreme weather events, the hangover from the pandemic and the direct impact on food and energy prices linked to Russia's invasion – and people are having a hard time.

But, he says, the destabilisation if Russia succeeded in overthrowing rules-based order would have a profound economic impact, so it is not only in Ukraine's interest that Canada supports it, but in Canada's too.

The Central Bank of Russia has billions of assists, and Trudeau says he is looking at using that money to support Ukraine.

Zelensky says it's his belief that one supports either Ukraine or Russia, there are no mediators in this war.

"By weakening the support of Ukraine, you enforce Russia. what can you expect of a more powerful Russia? The history books can give you the answer," he says.

Wrapping up, he once again thanks Canada for its support and the pair exit the stage.

The two leaders are then asked how sanctions can be strengthened and whether there is any pressure on the need for Ukraine to have an election.

Trudeau responds that Canada has "sanctioned 2,700 people and entities and will continue too... we are constantly working to co-ordinate with our allies."

He adds that Canada is working to highlight that Russia is responsible for food and energy crisis going on around the world.

Meanwhile, Zelensky says Canada not pressing for an election, adding that he can "raise the issue but not press".

He goes on to say that the pair have "a warm relationship".

Explaining more about why an election would mean “very complicated security issues” as it would be a struggle to work out how to give people in occupied territories the chance to vote.

He also say that millions of Ukrainians are abroad and as for funding, “society is against that cause we are at war, this topic is raised so we need to be ready.

Lastly, Zelensky says the largest complication is the military as “we have a million soldiers in the trenches - how can they vote? Russia would open fire on people going to vote”.

The second question comes from a Canadian CTV journalist who asks both if US President Joe Biden promised to provide Ukraine with long-range missiles and how concerned the two leaders are about divisions in US Congress and divisions Nato allies such as Poland.

Zelensky answers: "We are grateful to the US and with all due respect to all of our allies the US has provided the largest share of assistance.

"We are discussing all types of weapons. I believe the majority of what was discussed will reach [Ukraine]."

He claims there are Russians spreading disinformation to influence politicians as he notes the influence in African and Latin American countries.

Trudeau then says Canada has been very active in supporting Ukraine financially, economically and in humanitarian aid.

"Canada is one of the most interconnected countries," Trudeau says as he lists off Nato, the Commonwealth and UN.

"We have been unequivocal in standing up for Ukraine and others stand alongside us."

Trudeau adds the war matters to people around the world due to food prices and instability in eastern Europe.

It's question time.

The first asks what security guarantees Canada will provide Ukraine and what expectations there are regarding how Canada will support the peace formula.

Trudeau says Canada is providing multi-year support, that Canada will stand by Ukraine for as long as it takes.

He says this is not just because of the long-standing friendship between the two countries, but because it’s the right thing to do.

On the peace process, Trudeau says he is looking at how Canada can provide support around displaced persons and child abductions.

Zelensky says the security guarantee is a strong bilateral document, and there is separate one for each country. We are taking about strong protection in the air and at sea, he says, as well as protecting energy and infrastructure.

On the peace formula, he says the most important task is to stay focused, and that he is working on getting as many countries involved in the process as possible.

Zelensky wraps up his speech by adding that the pair have discussed aspects of a peace formula between the countries.

"Our teams are working on bilateral documents " he says.

He then ends his speech by saying "glory to Ukraine".

President Zelensky continues his address, speaking in Ukrainian, as he talks about large parts of his country which are contaminated with "unexploded ordinances".

"We will need to clean our territory from the mines," he says.

"Together with the Canadian support we will be fulfilling these tasks."

Zelensky expresses his thanks for F-16 training and gratitude for further air defence missiles.

"This is a very timely decision as a lot of Russian and Iranian drones are being used against our infrastructure," the Ukrainian leader adds.

It's Zelensky's turn to speak. He thanks the Canadian prime minister and says part of the purpose of his trip was to thank the Canadian government for its support in person.

"We are greatly appreciative of the support and Ukraine will always remember that," Zelensky says.

"When we are victorious, it will be a common victory with Canada and all our friends, the whole free world," he adds.

He says it was an honour to address the Canadian parliament, says the meetings today were fruitful and offers thanks for Canada's CA$8bn of support.

Trudeau goes on to praise Zelensky for the way he has "inspired people around the world" and adds that he is an inspiration to all.

He then hands over to the Ukrainian president.

More from Trudeau who continues to switch between French and English.

The Canadian PM says he is making mental health support available as he notes the effects of war are taking an understated toll.

"It will not be possible to rebuild without peace," he says.

"As I said in parliament and UN Security Council, this peace must not be a false peace based on compromises which benefit the aggressor."

Trudeau adds he wants to see "territorial integrity" restored to Ukraine.

Trudeau says he is continuing to impose costs on Russia.

This involves engaging with G7 partners to establish a working group of eminent persons to provide advice on the seizure of Russian assets including the Russian Central Bank.

He says 63 Russian individuals and entitles have been added to Canada's sanctions list, including those complicit in the kidnapping of children and spreading of misinformation.

Trudeau adds "We will also contribute pilot and maintenance constructors for the joint effort of F-16 jets and leopard tank maintenance."

He goes on to say that the economy needs support so the government has the resources it needs for the war effort.

After signing the free trade agreement and posing for some official photographs, President Zelensky and PM Justin Trudeau stand at two podiums holding a press conference.

Trudeau says good afternoon and reflects on the great honour in having Zelensky in Canada today.

He reiterates the two leaders discussed financial, military and humanitarian needs for Ukraine.

Talking about fresh assistance for Ukraine, Trudeau pledges to help train F-16 pilots and emphasises the support for Leopard 2 tank maintenance, provide Ukraine with high-resolution camera drones and Nato-standard ammunition.
