VIDEO: Ukraine asks for battle tanks as Canada sends 200 more armoured vehicles
Defence Minister Anita Anand used a visit to Ukraine on Wednesday to announce that Canada is sending another 200 armoured vehicles to help with the country’s defence against Russian invaders.
“The Senator APCs are security-task vehicles and I have heard repeatedly that Ukrainian troops appreciate their maneuverability and their adaptability,” Anand told reporters while sitting alongside Reznikov. The Ukrainian defence minister said such air-defence systems were his country’s top priority, as Russian missiles continue to rain down on civilian targets across the country, including a devastating strike on an apartment building over the weekend.
Allies have been wrestling with whether to send tanks to Ukraine, including Germany, which is facing pressure to not only send some of its Leopard 2 tanks, but to allow other countries that operate the same tanks to do the same.
