Canada has allocated a new military aid package to Ukraine. Our state will receive AIM-9 short-range anti-aircraft missiles.

This was announced by Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand. The Ukrainian government will provide Ukraine with 43 air-to-air missiles free of charge. This will help strengthen the defense of our skies from Russian attacks.

What else Canada will provide to Ukraine

Anita Anand noted that the country allocates new military assistance after next meeting in the Ramstein format. In addition, the minister stressed that all deliveries of small arms are on schedule.

In particular, in the near future Ukraine will receive 1 million 5.56 mm rounds of ammunition and 4,800 assault rifles. By summer, all 21,000 small arms and 2.4 million ammunition are expected to be in Ukraine. Also, our country has already received machine guns, machine guns, cleaning kits and magazines.

Canada's support for Ukraine is unwavering. When I travel in Canada, I see Ukrainian flags on houses, small businesses and cars. Canadians understand that Ukraine's struggle is also a struggle for sovereignty, freedom and independence. In today's productive meeting, we discussed Ukraine's most pressing defense priorities, and I reaffirmed that Canada will be there to support Ukraine in the short and long term. – Anand emphasized.

Canada is also expanding its presence in Poland as part of Operation UNIFIER – 5 additional Canadian Forces medical instructors will join the 7 instructors already involved in the medical skills development program for military personnel.< /p>
