Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says his country has started preparations for a military drone deal with Canada.
In a post on social media, he says 20 countries are already working with Ukraine on similar deals.
Global News and The Canadian Press has reached out to National Defence Minister David McGuinty, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand and their respective ministries for comment.
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office said last August that the defence departments in Canada and Ukraine had signed a letter of intent “to co-produce defence materials in both countries,” but did not refer specifically to drones.

Ukraine has talked about signing export deals with other countries to supply them with the advanced drone technology it has refined since Russia launched its full-scale invasion four years ago, and to build drones in joint ventures.
Canadian officials testified last November that they had seen little progress on efforts to find economic opportunities for Canadian firms in Ukraine in sectors like drone manufacturing, in part because those companies were worried about the physical safety of their staff and investments.
A lot of MAGA/Russian supporters in this comment. The same rightnuts traitors who wants immigrants out, yet they’re willing to sell us to Donny’s 51st state. Trade you fools for immigrants who love and will fight for Canada. Get out traitors!
Sincere gratitude to the Canadian people and their Government for their presence and support at the most crucial moment for Ukrainians,and my homelandas well as for the future history of the whole world! Thank you for respecting human dignity.❤️
This corrupt f *ucking N azi Zelenskyy needs to die.
The Ukraine STILL needs Canada’s help after we’ve given him and his band of thieves how many billion?
What do you mean deal. We should be getting those for free. And each taxpayer should get one.
Why is the travelling beggar still breathing?? Cmon Russia
The Liberals will use them to hunt the Canadian Infidels who don’t submit to the Party
Nothing to see here, just a couple dictators discussing how they plan to spend the money they stole from their people after they help each other “clean” it…
I don’t want my tax dollars to be used to fund this. In fact I don’t see any benefit from any of the taxes I pay…
YEAH CARNEY, GIVING AWAY MILLIONS OF OUR HARD EARNED TAX DOLLARS ONCE AGAIN !!! YOU and ANAND SHOULD BE EXECUTED ! BIG FACTS
Doesn’t Canada have a law against one time use plastics I think a drone is one time use kind of like a straw or plastic bag
Why are we even talking about helping Zelenskyy continue his war? Have not enough people died so that he looks good?
