Canada is pledging more support for Ukraine as it grapples with Russia’s ongoing invasion by deepening cooperation in key areas such as defence, critical minerals and intelligence sharing, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a joint statement.
Zelenskyy is seeking military support from allies as Russia’s attacks from the air target Ukraine’s energy grid.
“Meeting at a moment of global rupture, the leaders reaffirmed their intention to build a new order founded on trust, rooted in shared values, and underpinned by the strength and determination to uphold them,” a joint statement from the two read.
Both countries agreed to establish “a long-term defence industrial partnership,” including the joint production of counter-drone capabilities.
“Canada will always stand in solidarity with Ukraine,” Carney said.
Canada and Ukraine also agreed to ensure “safe and secure navigation in the Black Sea,” a key shipping route for food grains for markets across the world.
Carney and Zelenskyy signed a “Declaration for a Hundred Year Partnership” between Canada and Ukraine.
Ottawa and Kyiv “will codify a long-term framework for cooperation across defence and security, trade and investment, reconstruction, energy, critical minerals, and technology,” Carney said.
“We are already strong, but we have to be stronger to have a real dialogue with Putin,” Zelenskyy said that the “best way” to defend Ukraine is to find a way to end the war.
The federal government will also ramp up its defence drone production, with a plan to “produce millions of drones within the next two years,” he added.

Based on a model employed by the Ukrainian government, Canada will set up a “national drone market place,” which will give access to the Canadian Armed Forces to around 400 Canadian drone suppliers.
“One-third of all the drones we manufacture will go to support Ukraine’s defence of its homeland,” Carney said.
Canada still working with U.S.
Canada can “continue to work with the United States” when it comes to supporting Ukraine despite ongoing trade tensions between Ottawa and Washington, he added.
“We can compartmentalize,” Carney said, adding that a “mutually beneficial deal” was still possible on trade.
“Canada is always ready to strike a fair deal. We believe there’s a mutually beneficial deal for Canada and the United States, and our team (and) myself are ready. I speak regularly to President Trump,” he said.
Energy agreement
In addition to a broader cooperation agreement, Canada and Ukraine also signed an energy cooperation agreement.
Energy and Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson and his Ukrainian counterpart Denys Shmyhal signed an agreement that would see deeper cooperation on LNG and energy security.
The agreement also included commitments on nuclear energy, as well as hydroelectric power and other forms of renewable energy.
Zelenskyy last visited Canada in December, stopping in Halifax, amid efforts to end the war that Russia started in 2014 and escalated with a full-scale invasion in February 2022.
Kyiv has suffered a barrage of Russian airstrikes in recent months, and Ukraine has pleaded for more air defence support from its allies.
Since 2022, Canada has pledged $6.5 billion in military assistance for Ukraine running through to 2029.
“Canada remains steadfast in our commitment to support Ukraine’s defence, recovery, and reconstruction,” Carney said in a statement Wednesday.

i guarentee when carney leaves office he will move to us or europe.
did he just sign a hundred year deal with them. just a reminder carney has 91 percent of his investments in us his kids and wife live there and tells you to boycott them. what a joke
More money laundering going on here. Carney stands with Ukraine but his stocks in Brookfield are linked to China whi helps Russia fund the invasion. People wake up.
Ukraine has become the alternative to the modern military way of fighting compared to the expensive US method of yesterday’s. A partnership with them is smart, especially big aggressive countries. Their air, sea and land drones are battlefield proven. They just created and used in battle a cruise missle alternative not costing millions, like the US. Canada with Ukraine will be a major reliable manufacturer source for cheap battlefield proven weapons.

When are you heading over to Ukraine?
Cons do nothing but create fear and hate. This cooperation with Ukraine will create thousands of jobs in Canada. One third of the drones made here (which will be millions of them) go to Ukraine for their own defenses, the rest are for us to defend our country from a possible aggressor, namely the US. It’s an excellent cooperation arrangement. We’re doing what we did back in the world war days, building much of our equipment and requirements. Conservatives are angry because they would rather give up our sovereignty and kiss the ring of a dictator who wants the entire hemisphere to rule.
Many of the comments can just be summed up as “let’s surrender.” No. That would embolden Russia.
CARNEY WANTS TO CLAIM WAR SO HE CAN CLAIM CANADA. Your democracy is at stake. Carney is lining us up. Dictatorship coming…..
Canada paid for it.
Little war mongral. All 4 feet of him. He should get an award for creating the longest war .and the world biggest money scam in history as liberals team up
Only values Canada has incommon with Ukraine is both counties have corruption in govenerments frauding the entire world to embesel and steal money and use thair citizens to do it . Shame on you liberal government! Its time for you to go ! Alberta will separate
You wil run to Europe with our tax dollars. America is better.
How much?
He wants to be at war…America will deny it. America is smarter then you.
Any idea which is the most corrupt 🤔?It’s a toss up I think.
Is it birds of a feather fly together or die together?
Carnhole and zelly 69ed instead of a handshake
Don’t waste your money on ukraine, I give it a year before it’s a radioactive wasteland
Libscum rot in hell
Sck cck global News fcking maggots
I think carney and his little midget buddy zalinski should join the army on the front lines in Ukraine. This would end the war fast . It would save us tax payers billions of dollars
Liberal news . With all your fake poles and propaganda to convince Alberta why it needs to stay in canada .this makes people see the truth why the liberal government needs Alberta. No more billions of dollars to wash if it separated. Then what would they do .. oh no!!
MAGAts spewing the same garbage they always spew, but smelling even worse tonite: guess the rot in their little craniums is out of control, lol!
Carney has more tax money ready to wash ! Fly in the short little actor to collect!!!
The bagger arrived!! Get out the check book!!
Share what values.The same as Muslim values as carnage carney said last time ?? Time for Canadians to tighten thair budgets. The bagging jew arrived to pick up another few billing dollars again !!!
Carney is missing the boat. We need the USA. There are no other trading partners. Anyone who says there is, is full of it. Get back to the trade table, you idiot.
Two scumbags
So Zelensky was on his regular habit of collecting money from rich leaders that allow people in their own country to go without. How much this time? When is it enough.. between the Indians and Zelensky the piggy bank is empty.
This a hole had a speech how canadians need to buckle down and prepare for hard times then this short little jew shows up with his empty bags ready to be filled with our tax money as usual. Put first class in the Banff spring hotel treated like royalty. You aim for peace to end a way not supply arms to keep it going . Alberta needs to separate . No more washing our money
100 year partnership?
We keep sending them money and they keep stealing it.
Can you find any more corrupt country in western world
David Best is the village idiot.
Having a chat about how much more of our taxpayers Carney will send to Zelensky.
Two con men. Shysters the both of them.
Wrong!
Canada is NOT pledging anything. Carnage Carney is.
Guess you can pledge anything with other people’s money!
Ukraine will share values with anyone giving them billions … they aren’t an ally. There’s no treaty there. Apparently Ukraine values are muslim values by the transitive quality of Carney’s statements. This is cogent foreign policy? Someone told me Carney was smart… only if he and his friends are on the take!
Putin use hypersonic missile on them for facks sake!
stop giving them money!!! we are in a financial crisis. tell this mooch to go look elsewhere, he is a fraud. enough paying for THEIR war.
The only shared values Zelenskyy has with Canada is asking for more money and Carney asking how much he wants and then hands it over. Carney says things are going to get tough over the tariff war and yet he keeps giving money to other countries instead of easing the hardship for Canadians. Carney’s first priority should be Canadians not other countries
Fuxk off and quit stealing our money!!!!
There still a war in the Ukraine?. never hear about it until more money is needed.
So much misinformation on what is actually going on the ground. And who is doing what. Most are happy that Russia has stabilized and occupies these areas.
@ben. Zelensky is a communist just like you. Smarten up!
Canada: “Buy Canadian!”
Trump: “Ban Bombardier!”
Carney: “Here’s C$350 million to buy American weapons for Ukraine.”
Trump must be thrilled with Mark’s approval. Politicians who reward his threats only encourage him to make even more.
Is this guy for real!
Can’t find in Canadian history pm who’s more anti Canadian.
Billions to Ukraine while our economy suffers high housing costs high gas prices high groceries prices high unemployment and his flying high round the world.
Canada must be doing fine when everything is done by high notes!
Canada will always support Ukraine and any country trying to be invaded by a dictator but I’m not sure the US views it the same way anymore. Trump favours Russia and is Putin’s puppet. Trump greets dictators with a red carpet and wants to compete with them with all his gold trimming of the White House, wanting an arch bigger and better, naming everything he can with his Trump name. Definitely ego tripping and meanwhile his MAGA supporters are blind and accept poor health care, high prices because of his senseless Iran war and tariffs. Trump is bankrupting the US just like all his other businesses while he makes billions for himself, his family and elite friends. Wake up America!
He can become a dictator too, if only he could just claim “Canada is at war” hes already acting like one.
Zelenski offered to help European wildfires… with Canadian tax dollars, while Canada burns and Mr Burns pushes carbon capture on us. Figure that out.
Canada is in a trade war with the U.S. Trump threatens Bombardier, while Carney tells us to “Buy Canadian.” Then Ottawa spends C$350M helping Ukraine buy U.S. weapons. Apparently, buying Canadian ends where the American defence industry begins.
Canada: “Buy Canadian!”
Trump: “Ban Bombardier!”
Carney: “Here’s C$350 million to buy American weapons for Ukraine.”
Nothing says “standing up to the U.S.” like sending another giant order to its defence industry.
Why does Carney foresee us needing a million drones all of a sudden I wonder? This fascist p*g is so non-transparent its treasonous! I guess the wars are going to get worse hey? Maybe we will have to start flinging them like everyone else as the fascists and commies drive this world into all out war.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s long-time chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, resigned on November 28, 2025, following anti-corruption raids on his apartment.
And Zelensky wasn’t involved? Riiiight…
I’m glad to see that my Canada stands for the rule of law and stability, while opposing the brutal dictator Putin. The people who would have Canada stop helping Ukraine are in fact encouraging Russia to take territory from Poland, Germany, and the Baltic States.
I stand behind Russia. They are trying to stabilize the area.
WHY
Anonymous is a village idiot
Actually, aligning with Ukraine is the first thing I’ve seen since 2015 that the Liberals have done, that I can get behind. A large percentage of our population comes from there.
SLAVA UKRAINE.
@gay. Do you have a secret fetish for PP? Lol
Shared values like filling their personal coffers through corruption while their countries suffer?
awesome
Corruption is a shared value between Carney and Zelenskyy
@Ben . Please go to Ukraine. You can suck all the Dik you want there
Canadian intelligence?? Oxymoron if I ever heard one!
So Carney claims Canada will need millions of drones in the next few years. What is he implying? Is this a hint of things to come.
Why is Canada, a world leader in peace, pledging 6.5 billion dollars, that the federal government does not have, to promote a war? This is anti-Canadian. Just like Trudeau was Anti-Canadian.
We should help them with recovery and reconstruction, as soon as they negotiate peace.
Trading any intelligence with Ukraine would be foolish. They are not a part of NATO. Canada has little intelligence to share unless it comes from the American Intelligence Agencies.
F NO !!!
I share nothing in common with either of them
@Ben you support the two corrupt dictators Carney and Zelensky. Learn history
Calgary!!!
Will PP show up again in that adorable Whinestone Cowboy Liberace gown?
Only Findlay in BC has more of their own members leaving them.
Gee, I wonder if “glukov” is a russian troll. Another coward who won’t enlist.
Gotta like this guy.
Putin said he’s have the guy four years ago.
Gotta love a good underdog.
More platitudes and virtue signaling by Carney. With nothing tangible to show for. Russia will never give up the territories they now occupy.
Yep piss away billions more with no expectations of repayment.
Must be nice to launder money
Ben, having the Germans as our rulers wouldn’t have been so bad. Why so negative? 😀
Clearly, many of the commenters would not have stood up to Germany like Churchill did in WW2. Churchill could have come to an agreement with Germany but refused, knowing Germany had other countries under its yoke. Weak men and women are in the comments who would sacrifice freedom for a few dollars, and let Russia win.
He can confirm the undying money hose without conditions? Especially now that AfD is trying to choke of German money to this debacle. Get back to first principles: why are we involved? What are the success criteria of getting out? What are the integrity controls to prove this isn’t just a fraud machine, especially in light of how many of Zelensky’s confidants are GUILTY of theft
Cocraine will never be able to pay back the hundreds of billions of dollars in aid money. Their population and industry have been destroyed, richest territories (in terms of natural resources) are gone, they are now landlocked, and most of the aid money was embezzled. Europe’s financial system is not going to survive the pending catastrophe when their major banks become consequently insolvent. This is going to make 2008 look like a picnic.
Our government already gave Ukraine 25.8 billion dollars! If he can’t win the war with that, what do they think another 6.5 billion dollars is going to do?
What about Canadian citizens? Why can we NEVER qualify for any of those programs they supposedly create to help us?
Maybe they should hold a vote and actually ask Canadians if we want our money being spent on this debacle.
Please, don’t give him any money! Just hug and shake his hand!
Who the hell invited Cocainesky and his money plane? Canadians need the money and funds especially after these stupid tariffs, so stop sending it to foreign countries.
Dumbest: pierre poutine.
Dumb and Dumber. Carney and Zelenskyy
How much of our taxes are going to Ukraine this time…
Another couple billion? Who cares about Canadians who cant afford to eat, or children who cant afford a home so they are living in their parents basement at 30. Who cares about the rocketing crime rate or the civil unrest in our streets.
Surely our money is better spent overseas fighting someone elses war…
Anonymous is a village idiot. Still
Will the Liberals applaud another SS member to appease Zelenskyy. That was truly embarrassing the first time for Canada.
Ben you’re clueless
I hope Putin sends special delegates to meet them, nudge nudge wink wink
The little man in Ukraine loves it when the little man from Canada meets with him brcause the little man from Ukraine always walks away much more enriched with Canadian tax money than real Canadians do.
I wonder how many more billion dollars of our tax money Carney will throw down the endless pit that is Ukraine. The reds under the befs mentality is getting old. Russia has been weakened both militarily and economically and maybe, just maybe Carney should direct those billion he loves to shovel off the Liberal wagon to struggling Canadian families and to enrich Ukranian leadership.
@Anonymous. 1051 am. Clearly you don’t understand the vast majority of money was provided by confiscating Russian assets. We stop the Russians now or they continue to pursue their reign of terror against not only Ukraine but Germany and Poland.
Every time Carney meets with this guy he leaves with more money. It’s about time all money going to other countries stops and that money given to Canadians to help buy groceries and other basic needs.
It’s either we stop the Russians now, who are also causing issues with our NATO allies, or they come for us. The reason why the leader of Germany went ahead and bulldozed through Europe in WW2 is because people like Chamberlain and Dalidier appeased him. Appeasing Putin will only embolden him
Oh I bet Christia Freeland is cackling with joy….more money to launder.
Seems everytime Zelensky comes to Canada he leaves with a bag of our money.
Canada has pledged $6.5 billion in military assistance for Ukraine running through to 2029. How about assistance for struggling Canadians. What a joke . Money laundering at its finest.
They are partying while Canadians starve and on top.of it will probably promise Zelensky another chunk of our tax dollars
