Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced a new $270 million aid package for Ukraine during his attendance at the 8th European Political Community Summit in Yerevan, Armenia. The commitment underscores Canada's ongoing support for Ukraine amid its conflict with Russia.
Summit Highlights
Carney met with European Parliament President Roberta Metsola and other European leaders to discuss security, economic cooperation, and shared democratic values. The Canadian prime minister also received an invitation to address the European Parliament, an offer he welcomed.
The aid package includes military assistance, humanitarian support, and funds for infrastructure reconstruction. This latest pledge brings Canada's total contributions to Ukraine to over $4 billion since the invasion began.
International Response
European leaders praised Canada's commitment, with several noting the importance of sustained Western unity. Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre called on Carney to clarify what leverage Canada holds in trade negotiations with the United States, amid ongoing tariff disputes.
The summit also addressed energy security, climate change, and migration. Carney emphasized the need for collective action on global challenges, including supporting Ukraine's path toward European integration.
