Canada announced a new batch of defense assistance to Ukraine worth CAD34 million (about USD26 million).

That’s according to Canada’s Defense Ministry, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

It is noted that Canada will use $5 million of the said funds to provide the Armed Forces with modern satellite imagery, $18 million for high-resolution cameras for unmanned aerial vehicles, and the remaining $10 million for winter gear, including portable heaters, blankets, and sleeping bags.

The Ministry of Defense emphasized that it formed the package based on direct requests that came from Ukraine.

It should be recalled that earlier, Canada announced the extension until the end of next year of its training mission for Ukrainian recruits on British soil.

Since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the total amount of Canadian military aid to Ukraine has already exceeded $1 billion.
