A Century-Long Commitment
Canada and Ukraine signed a sweeping 100-year partnership on Thursday, putting defence production at the centre of the relationship. The agreement commits Ottawa to building millions of drones, teaming Canadian manufacturers with Ukraine's battle-tested defence industry.
What's In the Deal
Beyond drones, the two countries pledged deeper co-operation on counter-drone technology, munitions production, and artificial intelligence. Canada also committed new funding toward air defence and energy security for Ukraine.
Why It Matters
The pact signals a long-term shift in how Canada approaches its defence industry, with Ottawa positioning Canadian firms as partners in Ukraine's wartime innovation rather than just aid donors.
