Prime Minister Mark Carney made announcements at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Canada, increasing support for Ukraine's defense against Russia. He promised additional sanctions against Russia and billions in extra military aid to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Zelenskyy expressed gratitude, "It's crucial our soldiers remain battle-ready and steadfast until Russia is prepared to initiate peaceful negotiations." Ukraine is open to peace talks and an unconditional truce, but only with pressure on Moscow.
The G7 leaders will discuss the Russian invasion with Zelenskyy at a working breakfast today as he is attending the summit. However, the aim of urging former US President Donald Trump to exert more pressure on Moscow seems unlikely, as Trump left the summit early due to Middle East issues.
Carney hinted that the Canadian sanctions would focus on more than 200 ships in the dubious fleet, which Russia utilizes to skirt sanctions. The military aid includes drones and helicopters.
In 2025, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced commitments totaling $4.3 billion (CAD or USD, clarification required) to help Ukraine. This assistance came in the form of $2 billion purchased and gifted military equipment, and a $2.3 billion loan to rebuild critical infrastructure. These funds would be repaid using proceeds from frozen Russian assets.

Yo, listen up! If you’re interested, here's some insights I dug up. The 2025 commitments to Ukraine by Canada included $2 billion in military aid, which covered drones, ammunition, and armoured vehicles. An additional $2.3 billion was a loan to rebuild critical infrastructure and would be repaid using funds from frozen Russian assets.
As for 2021, I didn't find specific aid amounts or equipment lists from Canada to Ukraine in the given sources. What I did find was that Canada's support in 2021 consisted of smaller, incremental items like night vision goggles, helmets, body armour, and non-lethal equipment.
The European Union, recognizing the ongoing war-and-conflicts in Ukraine, has been closely monitoring the politics surrounding the Russian invasion. General news outlets have reported that the European Union, in solidarity with Canada, has pledged to provide additional support to Ukraine's defense, mirroring Canada's commitments worth billions of dollars in military aid and loan for rebuilding critical infrastructure.
