Canada at Risk of Exclusion from Future Ukraine Peacekeeping Missions
There's growing concern that Canada might not have a role in any future peacekeeping missions in Ukraine. As discussions about post-war stability unfold, experts suggest that Canada could be left out, despite its long history of international peacekeeping.
CTV political analyst Eric Ham has pointed out that the geopolitical landscape is shifting, and Canada’s exclusion from future efforts in Ukraine may not be just speculation—it could become a reality. One of the biggest factors influencing this situation is the stance taken by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who is pressuring Ukraine to reach a settlement with Russia. If Ukraine is forced into a deal that leans toward Russian interests, the countries involved in the reconstruction and peacekeeping phase will likely be chosen based on diplomatic and strategic alliances at that time.

For years, Canada has been a major supporter of Ukraine, ranking among the top contributors in military aid, financial assistance, and humanitarian relief. However, recent actions by the Canadian government—such as the controversial move to seize and redirect frozen Russian assets to Ukraine—have drawn criticism internationally. Some see this as a necessary step in supporting Ukraine, while others warn it could set a risky precedent, damaging Canada’s reputation in global financial and diplomatic circles.
Beyond financial support, Canada has also trained thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and provided essential military equipment. Yet, when it comes to the big-picture strategy for Ukraine’s post-war recovery, Canada’s role is not guaranteed. If key global players—especially the U.S. and European Union—decide to lead the peacekeeping and rebuilding efforts, Canada may find itself sidelined.
This potential exclusion would be a significant shift from Canada’s historic role in international peacekeeping. Canada has long been recognized for its contributions to UN-led missions worldwide, but in an evolving geopolitical climate, diplomatic influence plays as much of a role as military support. If Canada is not at the table when key decisions are made, it risks losing its influence in shaping Ukraine’s future.
Ultimately, Canada’s involvement in Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction will depend on how the situation unfolds in the coming months. While its financial and military support for Ukraine has been substantial, diplomatic maneuvering will determine whether Canada remains a key player or becomes an outsider in the peacekeeping mission.
