At the European Political Community summit in Yerevan, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney pledged $270 million in new military support to Ukraine and said, "Ukraine’s fight is our fight," after meeting President Volodymyr Zelensky. Carney framed the package as defending freedom, democracy, and sovereignty and noted that Canada is the first non-European country to join the European Political Community. The pledge boosts Western military assistance at a critical moment in Ukraine’s war with Russia and signals deeper Canadian alignment with European security priorities, which may pressure other allies to increase support.
