Story summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Calgary, Canada, on Wednesday night for his first visit to the country this year. The trip is primarily focused on meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney to discuss deepening defense, economic, and energy cooperation between their nations amid Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine. Zelenskyy and Carney are scheduled to meet in Calgary Thursday morning before Zelenskyy addresses a cabinet meeting in the nearby mountain resort town of Banff, Alberta. During his three-day visit, which includes stops in Toronto and North Bay, Ontario, Canada also announced plans for a long-term strategic partnership with Ukraine that spans over 100 years, covering areas such as defense, trade, investment, energy, and critical minerals. The agreement aims to strengthen bilateral ties further by collaborating on the production of drones and other uncrewed systems to bolster both countries' defenses against Russia's aggressive military actions.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
