The federal government announced today that it has assembled almost $100 million in military aid for Ukraine — Canada’s biggest single donation of military equipment to the country since the start of Russia’s invasion.
The $98 million donation will include 20,000 155mm artillery shells — NATO’s standard artillery shell — fuses and charge bags, Defence Minister Anita Anand said Tuesday.
“Putin’s full-scale, illegal and unconscionable invasion of Ukraine cannot be allowed to succeed and it will not,” Anand said from the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in Victoria, B.C. today.
“Through military aid, economic assistance, humanitarian aid and strong political support at international forums, Canada will continue to have Ukraine’s back.”
