History

Historical Context

After Ukraine’s provisional government failed to respond to unmarked Russian troops seizing Crimea on 26 February 2014, the West imposed $15 billion in export controls and NATO boosted military aid to Kyiv. The 2014 annexation sparked ongoing sanctions and a shift toward Western defense support, a backdrop for President Zelenskyy’s September 10 2026 visit to Canada to seek renewed assistance.
