Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney embarked on a historic visit to Ukraine today, marking his first official trip to the country since taking office. Accompanied by U.S. General Keith Kellogg, presidential envoy for Ukraine, Carney's visit also included defense ministers from Sweden, Latvia, and Denmark.
The delegation's arrival comes amid ongoing tensions in Eastern Europe, as Ukraine continues to defend its sovereignty against Russian aggression. During the visit, Carney reaffirmed Canada's commitment to supporting Ukraine through military aid and diplomatic channels, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation in addressing security challenges.
Carney's trip follows a series of high-profile visits by Western leaders to Ukraine, underscoring the growing global support for the country. Earlier this month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky honored General Kellogg with the prestigious Order of Merit, highlighting the strong partnership between the U.S. and Ukraine in the face of external threats.

As the situation in Ukraine remains fluid, Carney's visit is expected to pave the way for enhanced military collaboration and humanitarian support. This week’s discussions may also lead to new initiatives aimed at strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities amid a backdrop of increasing military developments globally.
