Canada has unveiled a new military aid package to Ukraine to help Kyiv’s war efforts against Russia. Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the military support package for Ukraine on February 24 on the third anniversary of the war.
The new military bundle includes 25 LAV ll armored personnel carriers; a landing system for the F-16; 4 F-16 simulators; ammunition, uniforms, first aid kits.
"This is in addition to millions of additional ammunition, equipment and first aid kits," Trudeau stated at the plenary session of the Support Ukraine Forum in Kyiv.
In addition, Canada will transfer the first part of aid to Ukraine in the amount of $3.52 billion, financed from the income of frozen Russian assets.
