OTTAWA — 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.
The Canadian Press has reached out to National Defence Minister David McGuinty and Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand 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.
