Canada Pledges Air Defense Support to Ukraine Amidst Zelenskyy's Visit

Canada has announced a significant air defense support package for Ukraine, including assistance with replenishing drone stocks, during a visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The commitment deepens the alliance between the two nations, with discussions also focusing on a potential 100-year pact.

President Zelenskyy met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in Calgary, a city with a notable Ukrainian diaspora. The visit underscores ongoing international support for Ukraine as it continues to defend against Russian aggression. Meanwhile, reports indicate Ukrainian forces are pushing back Russian troops near Lyman, and Russia has claimed Ukraine sought to instigate a war between Russia and the United Kingdom, a claim Britain has dismissed as disinformation.
