Interceptors now, gas money before winter
Alongside the declaration, Canada announced approximately $350 million for air-defence interceptors through JUMPSTART, the US-run purchase program, nearly $435 million in loan guarantees for Ukraine's energy security including winter gas purchases, and $200 million in concessional reconstruction loans. Zelenskyy called the air-defence package 'crucial', saying such systems are in short supply worldwide. The announcements pushed Canada's total commitments since 2022 past $26 billion.
Why this matters
Each instrument moves differently: guarantees unlock other people's lending, loans get repaid, and the interceptor money buys American hardware on an American timeline. Announced and delivered are different dates, and the gap between them is where this story lives.
