Prime Minister Mark Carney, standing alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the G7 summit in Alberta on Tuesday, strongly condemned the latest wave of Russian missile strikes on Kyiv, calling them “abhorrent acts of aggression.”
In a joint statement, Carney reaffirmed Canada’s unwavering support for Ukraine, stating that the country stands in “total solidarity” with the Ukrainian people in their ongoing fight for sovereignty and democracy.
“In the face of brutal and unjustified attacks, Canada will not waver,” Carney declared. “We are increasing our military assistance to Ukraine because defending freedom and human dignity is not optional — it is our responsibility.”
The Prime Minister announced an expanded military aid package that includes additional drone systems, ammunition supplies, and advanced surveillance equipment, part of Canada’s ongoing commitment to Ukraine’s defense.
President Zelenskyy expressed deep gratitude for Canada’s continued leadership and solidarity, highlighting the importance of united democratic support in the face of Russian aggression.
The announcement comes amid growing international pressure on Russia and increased coordination among G7 nations to bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities and accelerate post-war reconstruction efforts.
