Photo Gallery: Carney meets with Ukraine’s allies in Paris

By Canadian Press on January 6, 2026.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will continue to build up its military might in the coming years, in part so it’s able to play a role in providing security guarantees for Ukraine.

Carney is in Paris meeting with Ukraine’s allies to discuss the role Canada might play in securing an eventual ceasefire in the war with Russia.

At a news conference at the Canadian Embassy on Tuesday, Carney said the negotiations on peace and security guarantees for Ukraine are “90 per cent of the way there,” according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who is also in Paris.

Carney said the remaining parts of a potential peace deal will need to be negotiated by Ukraine, Russia and the United States.

Here are some scenes from the Paris meetings.
