Canada to contribute $35M for Ukraine's energy sector

This is said in a statement issued by the Office of Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau following his visit to Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.

“In response to Russia’s renewed attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, which have left millions of civilians deprived of electricity, water, and heat, the Prime Minister also announced a $50 million contribution to help support Ukraine’s urgent efforts to repair and replace damaged energy equipment and critical infrastructure,” the statement says.

Canada will also provide about USD 65 million to implement various development programs in Ukraine and more than USD 10 million to several humanitarian projects. Canada will use another USD 6 million to strengthen nuclear safety in Ukraine and purchase protective equipment for Ukrainians.

Trudeau's office summarized that Canada’s new assistance measures for Ukraine will total CAD 118.5 million (almost USD 85 million).

As Ukrinform reported, Canada announced sanctions against 76 Russians and Russian institutions that support aggression against Ukraine.
