Canada to give Ukraine $47 million aid package

18.10.2024

Canada plans to provide Ukraine with a military aid package worth 64.8 million Canadian dollars, or $47 million, Babel reports.

This was stated by Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair.

According to Reuters, the military aid package will include small arms, ammunition and protective equipment.

The aid package, which also includes funds for training the Ukrainian military, is part of a C$500 million ($362 million) military funding package that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced in July.

Last month, Canada announced that it would donate 80,840 surplus small air-to-surface missiles without warheads, as well as 1,300 warheads to Ukraine.

It is worth noting that since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Canada has allocated 4.5 billion Canadian dollars ($3.26 billion) in military aid.
