Main Body
On 10 September 2026, the Prime Minister of Canada said Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met in Calgary and signed a 100 Year Partnership Declaration intended to raise Canada Ukraine relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. The Prime Minister of Canada said the leaders condemned Russia’s aggression and identified defence, recovery, trade and cultural ties as areas for long-term cooperation.
A separate Canadian readout said Carney reaffirmed Canada’s support for Ukraine during the continuing war with Russia. The Prime Minister of Canada said the leaders discussed air defence systems, drone production and humanitarian needs, and said Canada had provided more than $8.5 billion in military aid, more than $750 million in reconstruction support and more than 3,500 sanctions against Russia.
The Calgary meeting fit a wider allied policy line on Ukraine. On 1 September 2026, HM Government told the UN General Assembly that Russia’s actions did not change Ukraine’s sovereignty or borders. On 28 August 2026, the Prime Minister of Canada said Carney and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen discussed Arctic defence, security and NATO-related technology cooperation.
The commitments mattered in practical terms because the Prime Minister of Canada connected the meeting to air defence, drones, sanctions and reconstruction, which are central tools for Ukraine’s military resilience and economic recovery. The Prime Minister of Canada also said Canada supported Ukraine’s integration with NATO and the European Union, placing the bilateral declaration within broader Euro-Atlantic security and diplomatic policy.
