AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoCanada-Ukraine Defense Push: In Calgary, President Zelenskyy and PM Mark Carney signed a 100-year partnership declaration, with Ottawa pledging C$350M for air-defence interceptors and backing Ukraine’s FREYJA anti-ballistic missile effort, while also expanding drone and counter-drone cooperation and intelligence/cyber/counter-hybrid work. Drone Warfare & Energy Risk: Ukrainian special forces said drones struck Russia’s Novy Urengoy and Purovsky gas facilities in the Arctic—nearly 2,000 miles from Ukraine—highlighting how long-range attacks are reshaping Russia’s fuel logistics; separate reports also link strikes to disruptions hitting Russian fuel imports. Trade Tensions Watch: Carney told reporters he’s spoken to Trump “in recent days” and Canada remains ready for a “fair” trade deal despite tariff escalation, as Ukraine talks with allies continue. BRICS Crosscurrents: As BRICS meets in New Delhi, India signals it’s unlikely to back a common BRICS currency, instead pushing digital cross-border payments and CBDC-style links—while the bloc faces divisions over Ukraine and Iran. War’s Business Impact: Russia resumed near-constant strikes on Kyiv after a brief pause, injuring people and hitting civilian and logistics targets, underscoring the growing cost pressure on Ukraine’s economy and supply chains.
