Canada announces $4.3-billion in new support for Ukraine and sanctions on Russia’s ‘shadow fleet’
- On June 17, 2025, at the G7 summit in Alberta, Prime Minister Mark Carney revealed a $4.3 billion aid package to assist Ukraine, along with new sanctions aimed at Russia’s shadow fleet.
- This announcement follows Russia's deadliest overnight missile and drone attack on Kyiv, which killed at least 15 people and injured 156, intensifying calls for more aid and sanctions.
- The aid package includes $2 billion for military equipment such as drones and armored vehicles, plus a $2.3 billion loan for rebuilding infrastructure shattered by the war.
- Carney condemned Russian actions as barbaric, emphasized solidarity with Ukraine, and noted that sanctions target around 200 Russian vessels that mask oil sales to fund Moscow's war efforts.
- Although U.S. President Trump left the summit early due to concerns over Middle East conflicts, the remaining G7 leaders committed to intensifying efforts to compel Russia to agree to a ceasefire, while Zelensky expressed gratitude to Carney for his backing.
