Canada joins G7 call for a reciprocal ceasefire and sustained support for Ukraine

Canada joined its G7 partners in calling for a reciprocal ceasefire in Ukraine and reaffirming support for the country after foreign ministers met in Paris on November 9 and 10.

In a joint statement released November 11, the ministers said any ceasefire must be matched by Russia and linked it to negotiations toward a just and lasting peace. They also supported the participation of European countries in discussions affecting European security.

The statement backs continued pressure on Russia, including sanctions and measures directed at the “shadow fleet” used to move oil outside established controls. The ministers also condemned attacks affecting commercial shipping and food security.

The G7 said work is continuing on financing for Ukraine in 2027 and beyond. The declaration records a shared political position; it does not itself create a ceasefire or disclose a new Canadian funding amount.
