Canada is quietly preparing for the possibility of a direct military role in Ukraine, Prime Minister Mark Carney indicated during an unannounced Sunday visit to Kyiv alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Speaking at Sophia Square, Carney pledged Canada’s ongoing support for Ukraine’s post-conflict peace, security, and reconstruction—and did not rule out sending troops.

“When that peace comes … Canada will be there,” Carney said.
“I would not exclude the presence of troops.”

Coalition of the Willing
For over two years, Canada has participated in multilateral discussions aimed at securing a ceasefire and long-term peace in Ukraine. Last fall, these talks evolved into a coalition of countries—including most European nations, Canada, Japan, and Australia—dedicated to maintaining security in Ukraine if a peace agreement is reached.

Obstacles to a peace deal remain formidable, including ceasefire conditions and the fate of Russian-occupied territories, such as Crimea, parts of Donbas, and other regions, which constitute roughly one-fifth of Ukraine. Ukrainian leadership continues to demand strict security guarantees.

Trump’s Peace Initiative and Canadian Caution
This month, former President Donald Trump hosted peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, followed by discussions with Zelenskyy and European leaders at the White House. While Trump floated a peace deal potentially without U.S. ground troops, Carney emphasized that Canada finds Ukraine’s self-defense “unrealistic” without coordinated land, air, and sea protection through the coalition.

Canada is also investing in drones, with Zelenskyy announcing that Canadian funding will support their production—critical for saving lives and maintaining battlefield advantage.

Operation Unifier and Domestic Challenges
Canada has already contributed approximately $22 billion in aid—primarily loans—while supporting Ukrainian military training through Operation Unifier. However, domestic support for continued aid has waned, and Canada’s military faces equipment and staffing shortages. A 2024 Department of National Defence presentation shows that only 58% of the Canadian Armed Forces are mobilizable for NATO operations, highlighting potential limitations if troop deployment occurs.

Former Defence Minister Bill Blair and then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau previously left the door open for deployment under changing circumstances. Both emphasized that a ceasefire and lasting peace are prerequisites for any Canadian soldiers on the ground.

Prophetic and Geopolitical Implications
Canada’s potential troop deployment underscores the growing risk of international entanglement in Ukraine’s conflict. With Russia refusing to relinquish occupied territories and global powers positioning militarily, the situation could escalate into a broader confrontation. Biblical watchers note parallels to Ezekiel 38, where alliances form around Israel—here mirrored in Western and allied nations rallying in Ukraine as a geopolitical flashpoint.

Conclusion
While Canada frames its involvement as post-conflict support, the possibility of troops on the ground signals a deeper entanglement in Ukraine’s ongoing war with Russia. With billions in aid, military training, and potential troop deployment, Canada is positioning itself as a frontline backer of Kyiv, even as domestic and logistical challenges loom.
