During the meeting, Zelenskyy also thanked Canada for its continued military support, noting that Ukraine had already received a substantial air defense assistance package, with additional components currently on their way.

While declining to provide further details, the Ukrainian president acknowledged that Kyiv continues to face a critical shortage of interceptor missiles for its air defense systems.

“Right now, we have a major, perhaps even the biggest, shortage in air defense. At the same time, we have received a large package from Canada. We are grateful to you for this,” Zelenskyy said.
