Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Tuesday that Canada will impose latest sanctions against Russia as its war in Ukraine continues.
Carney made the announcement during a gathering on the G7 summit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The package will goal 162 individuals, entities and vessels — all assets of the Russian war machine.
“We’re working more closely on production of drones together and we’ll discuss the following stage of that,” Carney said.
Zelenskyy thanked Canada for its support and said the working session on Ukraine was “great.”
“Our partners supported our messages, what we really want — energy package, we’d like, air defence, more patriot missiles,” he said. “Russia will not be winning, and we’ve to push (Russian President Vladimir Putin) to finish this war.”
A readout from the Prime Minister’s Office said Carney strongly condemned Russia’s latest attack on Kyiv, including the strike on the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra monastery, during his meeting with Zelenskyy on the G7 summit in France.

In 2026, Canada has provided $2.8 billion in military assistance to Ukraine, imposed sanctions on greater than 3,400 individuals and entities in addition to 600 vessels.
Last month, Carney announced Canada will contribute one other $270 million to assist Ukraine secure critical military capabilities in its defence against Russia’s full-scale invasion.
He made the announcement in Armenia, where he met with world leaders on the European Political Community summit, focused on strategic co-operation in politics, security and infrastructure.
“Prime Minister Carney underscored Canada’s support for Ukraine’s reconstruction, including opportunities to leverage Canadian expertise in energy, infrastructure, and clean technology, and noted the importance of continued reform to bolster Ukraine’s resilience,” said the readout.
Carney’s meeting with Zelenskyy is considered one of at the least five bilateral meetings Carney can have Monday, including with the leaders of Italy, the United Arab Emirates, India and South Korea.
The primary full day of the 2026 leaders’ summit may also include discussions about conflicts within the Middle East, and the pullback in foreign aid funding that’s requiring a rethink of how the world handles international development needs.
