Abstract:

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine further increased Canada’s support for Ukraine, which was already strong before the war. Despite previous resistance, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau decided to increase the defence budget and make new investments in military capabilities. However, the scale of challenges concerning technical modernisation of the Canadian Armed Forces means that strengthening the military presence in Europe will not be a priority for Canada. The country’s role in further strengthening the Eastern Flank, in accordance with decisions reached at the NATO Summit in Madrid, will likely be limited.
