Ottawa says Canada’s support for Ukraine on a per capita basis is the highest in the world
Canada is lending another $2.4-billion to Ukraine to help the beleaguered country cope with the economic fallout from Russia’s military assault, bringing total support for Kyiv to more than $8-billion since the war began.
“The brave people of Ukraine have reminded us that we must never take our freedom and our democracy for granted,” Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said when tabling the budget. This brings Canadian loans to Ukraine through the IMF account to $5-billion and Ottawa says it will help Ukraine cover the cost of government pensions, heating fuel, restoring damaged energy infrastructure and delivering essential services to citizens.
Canada has given Ukraine more than $1-billion in military aid and defence equipment, including a high-tech surface-to-air missile system and eight Leopard tanks, four howitzer guns, anti-tank weapons and 39 armoured combat support vehicles.
