Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Says He’s Flying to Canada for First 2026 Visit
Zelenskyy is seeking renewed military aid as Kyiv faces intensified Russian airstrikes, with Canada having pledged $6.5 billion since 2022.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Thursday he is flying to Canada today for his first visit this year, following his appearance at the funeral for King Harald in Oslo, Norway.
- Kyiv has suffered devastating Russian airstrikes in recent months and continues to plead for air defence support, prompting Zelenskyy's diplomatic push to secure additional military aid from allies.
- Canada has pledged $6.5 billion in military assistance for Ukraine through 2029, ranking fourth globally in raw dollars while Canadian MPs across party lines have made Ukraine central to their foreign policy platforms.
- European leaders argue Russia is widening its war through sabotage; Germany last week blamed Russia for an attempted drone attack near a Ukrainian cargo plane at Leipzig airport.
- In December, President Donald Trump will host the G20 summit in Miami, where potential attendance by Russian President Vladimir Putin remains contentious due to an International Criminal Court arrest warrant for alleged war crimes.
