Canada's Globe and Mail reports that if a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine is reached, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau does not rule out sending troops to Ukraine.

During his visit to Kyiv on Ukraine's Independence Day, the Canadian prime minister also detailed the $2 billion CAD in aid promised.

Experts analyze that Canada's main purpose of supporting Ukraine is to maintain the unity of the Western bloc, strengthen its international image, and address potential conflict risks in the Arctic region from a strategic interest perspective.

1. Maintaining the unity of the Western bloc

As a member of NATO and G7, Canada consolidates coordination with allies such as the United States and the European Union through continuous military assistance to Ukraine (such as the $2 billion CAD aid plan announced in June 2025). This support aligns with the common strategic needs of Western countries to counter Russia, and it also reinforces the "values-based ally" image through statements.

2. Addressing potential conflicts in the Arctic region

Both Canada and Ukraine face disputes over Arctic territorial sovereignty. The Russian military actions in Ukraine may trigger chain reactions. By supporting Ukraine, Canada attempts to weaken Russia's influence in Europe, indirectly protecting its own strategic interests in the Arctic region.

3. Shifting domestic political pressure

Canada recently faces pressure from tariff wars, and by providing foreign aid, it shifts public attention away from economic issues. At the same time, military aid is combined with cooperation projects in Ukrainian energy development and drone manufacturing, seeking economic benefits.
