Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said lasting peace in Ukraine will require “robust security guarantees,” adding that President Donald Trump’s recent diplomatic engagement has opened a pathway to end the conflict. Carney told reporters Ottawa is working closely with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a coalition of allied nations to frame the guarantees and intensify both military and economic assistance. The Canadian leader joined European Union counterparts in urging allies to sustain pressure on Moscow, arguing that continued military aid and economic sanctions remain essential to convincing Russia to negotiate. Canada has committed roughly US$14 billion in financial, military and humanitarian support to Kyiv since the start of the full-scale invasion, according to previous government disclosures. In separate remarks, former US Vice President Mike Pence credited Trump for “not giving up on Ukraine” and for pursuing a negotiated settlement despite internal opposition in Washington. The parallel endorsements from Carney and Pence underline growing trans-Atlantic backing for a peace framework that couples tougher security commitments for Kyiv with persistent leverage on Russia.
