Canada pledges support for Ukraine’s air defence as Zelensky visits
Canada to provide US$260 million to Ukraine through the US Joint Ukraine Multinational Programme - Services, Training and Articles Rapid Timeline programme.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Calgary on Thursday, pledging support to bolster Ukraine's air defences and replenish its drone stocks. The two leaders signed an agreement to foster a hundred-year partnership, covering defence, critical minerals, and energy. Canada offered $350 million through the JUMPSTART programme, while providing $450 million in loan guarantees to improve energy infrastructure in Ukraine.
This support aims to aid the country through the winter months. Additionally, Canada will contribute 30% of its new drone production to Ukraine, with the drones heading to the battlefield immediately. Zelensky met with Trump in New York later in September, while Canada's leaders continue their diplomatic efforts.
