Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says his country has started preparations for a military drone deal with Canada.

In a post on social media, he says 20 countries are already working with Ukraine on similar deals.

Global News and The Canadian Press has reached out to National Defence Minister David McGuinty, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand and their respective ministries for comment.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office said last August that the defence departments in Canada and Ukraine had signed a letter of intent “to co-produce defence materials in both countries,” but did not refer specifically to drones.

    Canada gets Ukraine drone tech and manufactures drones for Ukraine. Added bonus: Canada manufactures its own drones to protect itself from the potential aggression of its own rogue nuclear power neighbor which has made threats to invade.

      The truth is, as the ice melts, Canada ends up with TWO rogue nuclear power neighbours. And Denmark.

        We should never have accepted having a land border with Denmark, it’s a perfect invasion point.
