Canada is set to appoint a Special Representative for the Reconstruction of Ukraine, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced.

Canada is one of 26 countries that have pledged to provide troops to Ukraine as a "reassurance force" once the fighting ends with Russia.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and other senior officials say they will play a role in security guarantees for Ukraine, but what that involves remains an open question.

Carney’s arrival in Kyiv adds to a historic chain that connects Canada to the war-ravaged nation, from first welcoming Ukrainian settlers in 1891, to becoming the first Western nation to recognize Ukraine as a country in December 1991, to Ottawa’s now decade-old mission to lead the training of Ukraine’s military to repel Russian invaders.

After Prime Minister Mark Carney's surprise visit to Ukraine this past weekend, criticism of the nearly $22 billion in assistance Canada has pledged to the country so far spread on social media, along with misunderstandings about what's included in the aid package.
