Mark Carney Reaffirms Canada’s Support for Ukraine in Call with President Zelenskyy
TORONTO – Mark Carney, now serving as Canada’s 24th Prime Minister, reaffirmed the country’s strong support for Ukraine in a conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Carney shared that he and Zelenskyy discussed Ukraine’s defence efforts and global initiatives aimed at securing lasting peace. “Canada strongly supports Ukraine’s fight for freedom against Russian aggression. Lasting peace in Ukraine means security for us all,” Carney stated.
President @ZelenskyyUA and I spoke today. He updated me on Ukraine’s defence and global efforts to advance peace.
Canada strongly supports Ukraine’s fight for freedom against Russian aggression. Lasting peace in Ukraine means security for us all.

Carney’s leadership marks a new chapter in Canadian politics, with his government expected to continue Canada’s strong alliance with Ukraine. Since the Russian invasion began in 2022, Canada has provided billions in military, humanitarian, and financial aid to Ukraine while advocating for tougher international sanctions against Russia.
Zelenskyy has frequently engaged with world leaders to secure continued support for Ukraine’s sovereignty. The conversation with Carney underscores Canada’s commitment to working with allies to ensure long-term peace and security in the region.
As Carney begins his tenure as Prime Minister, his stance on global diplomacy and security will be closely watched, particularly in relation to Canada’s foreign policy priorities.
