Poland’s Donald Tusk won’t send peacekeepers to Ukraine but will provide logistical support

Canada and Poland Discuss Postwar Peace in Ukraine

In a meeting on Monday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk discussed the shape of a possible postwar peace in Ukraine. The two leaders finalized an enhanced strategic partnership, with Canada committing an additional $2 billion in military aid to Ukraine.

While Carney mentioned the possibility of Canadian troops being present in Ukraine, Tusk clarified that Poland would not be sending troops but would focus on logistics and organizing assistance for Ukraine.

The details of the ceasefire and peacekeeping force are still being worked out, with Ukraine seeking iron-clad security guarantees to prevent future aggression from Russia.

Joint Drone Manufacturing Effort

As part of the military assistance package, Canada proposed a joint manufacturing effort for drones with Ukraine. Ukrainian drone technology is highly advanced, with a recent deal signed with the United States and plans to open manufacturing facilities in Europe.

Defense Minister David McGuinty mentioned the cooperation in drone manufacturing between Canada and Ukraine, emphasizing the need for further discussions to define the scope of the arrangement.
