Ukraine's President Zelenskyy visited Canada, and the nations committed to strengthening their partnership, with Canada offering support to boost air defences and drone stocks. Canada will provide C$350m (US$253m) via a US program and C$450m in loan guarantees to improve Ukraine's energy supply. The two leaders also signed an agreement aiming for a "hundred-year partnership" for future cooperation.
