The Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, and the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, announced a defense and economic partnership with a planned duration of 100 years. The agreement was signed at a time when Ukraine faces increasing military pressure from Russia.
As part of this agreement, Canada unlocked 350 million Canadian dollars, equivalent to approximately 218 million euros, to provide air defense capabilities to Ukraine. This measure represents concrete support for the country's defensive capacity.
The partnership covers both the defense and economic sectors, seeking to reinforce bilateral cooperation between the two countries in the long term. This type of agreement with a century-long duration reflects a deep commitment between the two nations.
The announcement was made publicly, underscoring the importance both leaders attach to the relationship between Canada and Ukraine, in a context of ongoing conflict that has significantly affected regional security.
