Canada to allocate over USD 11M for Ukraine’s demining efforts

According to a Ukrinform correspondent, this was announced by Global Affairs Canada (Canada’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

"Canada will provide $15 million in funding to the Innovative Mine Action for Community Recovery in Ukraine project, under the Ukraine Community Recovery Fund, to help enhance Ukraine’s national mine action capacity, reduce the threat of explosive ordinance and promote economic recovery," the Ministry stated.

In addition to demining assistance, Canada will provide 2.2 million CAD (about1.5 million USD) for the Cybersecurity Assistance Project, which will provide essential services, equipment, and training to help Ukraine counter cyber threats.

"Canada will continue to stand with the Ukrainian people, to strongly condemn the Kremlin’s brutal actions and to use every tool at its disposal to hold Russia accountable," the Ministry emphasized.

Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Canada has provided approximately USD 14.5 billion in various forms of aid to Ukraine, including nearly USD 3.5 billion in military assistance.

As Ukrinform previously reported, Canadian politicians have opposed Russia’s return to the G7.
