Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet mark the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with additional promises of financial and military support
The new equipment includes four additional Leopard 2 main battle tanks, for a total of eight tanks provided by Canada, as well as one armoured recovery vehicle and over 5,000 rounds of 155 mm ammunition.
The government said the four previously announced Leopard 2 tanks have been delivered to Poland, and a Canadian Armed Forces team of trainers is currently training Ukrainian tank crews. Canada is also imposing sanctions on 122 individuals and 13 entities, including members of the lower house of Russia’s parliament who have voted in favour of legislation related to the invasion and attempted annexation of four regions of Ukraine. The sanctioned individuals also include Russian deputy prime ministers, ministers, and others in Mr. Putin’s office and the Russian military, as well as family members of previously sanctioned individuals.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly also announced more than $32-million “in support of security and stabilization in the country,” including de-mining efforts, as well as countering chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats “that jeopardize the safety of the entire region.”
