Canada Commits $1.47 Billion in Military Aid to Ukraine

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced a new military aid package worth 2 billion Canadian dollars (about $1.47 billion USD) to support Ukraine’s defense efforts against Russia.

The announcement came during Carney's meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the G7 summit.

The aid package includes advanced drones and helicopters, reinforcing Canada’s commitment to Ukraine.

Carney also unveiled new sanctions targeting Moscow, aiming to increase pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin as the war continues.

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Canada has committed over $13 billion CAD in total support, including military aid, financial assistance, and humanitarian relief.

Canada has also trained over 40,000 Ukrainian soldiers through Operation UNIFIER and joined global efforts to hold Russia accountable for war crimes.
