Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has expressed support for security guarantees for Ukraine and indicated that Canada may send troops to the country after a ceasefire with Russia.



Carney visited the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv on Sunday, the anniversary of Ukraine's 1991 independence from the former Soviet Union. He had talks with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.



Carney said Canada is working with its allies and Ukraine on "the modalities of those security guarantees on land, in the air and the sea.''



He added that he "would not exclude the presence of troops."



Zelenskyy welcomed Carney's comments and said he expects Canada "to take an active part in the implementation of the security guarantee."



Ukraine's Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said in a social media post that she spoke with US special envoy Keith Kellogg, who also attended the Independence Day ceremony.



Svyrydenko said security guarantees are "not limited to military strength, they also encompass political stability and economic resilience."



Separately, German media reported that the country's Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said on Sunday that not just the United States and European nations, but a wide range of countries should take part in security guarantees for Ukraine.



Wadephul was quoted as saying that around 30 countries including Japan had indicated their readiness to participate.
