Paris, Jan. 6, 2026 — Canada has joined more than 30 allied nations in signing a new pact aimed at securing Ukraine after a future peace deal with Russia.
The agreement was announced in Paris during a meeting of a coalition of allied countries.
Leaders discussed how to prevent renewed conflict once hostilities end.
Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed Canada’s participation following talks with European partners.
The pact outlines support measures but stops short of immediate troop commitments.
What the Agreement Covers
The statement sets out plans for long-term security guarantees for Ukraine.
Its goal is to deter future Russian aggression after a ceasefire or peace agreement.
The pact proposes a multinational security presence once fighting stops.
It would help defend Ukraine if Russia launches another attack.
The agreement also supports a U.S.-led ceasefire monitoring system.
Coalition countries would contribute resources and expertise.
France and the United Kingdom said they plan to establish military hubs in Ukraine.
These hubs would protect equipment, supplies, and logistics.
The document does not specify troop numbers or exact timelines.
Those details will depend on political decisions and conditions on the ground.
Canada’s Possible Role
Carney said Canada must strengthen its military to remain credible on the global stage.
He said future deployments, including troops, remain possible but undecided.
Canada already trains Ukrainian forces abroad under ongoing missions.
Officials say this experience could support post-war security efforts.
Carney stressed that Canada’s role will align with allies and international law.
Any action would follow a verified ceasefire or peace deal.
International Reaction
French President Emmanuel Macron said the pact shows global unity beyond Europe.
He highlighted participation from countries like Canada, Japan, and Australia.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the agreement signals long-term commitment.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the support.
Some analysts caution that success depends on sustained political will.
Still, the pact reflects a broad commitment to Ukraine’s future stability.
