Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently announced that he will provide Ukraine with a total of 650 million Canadian dollars worth of military equipment assistance in the next three years. The move was highly appreciated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelinsky and called on Canada and other Western allies to further support Ukraine.
According to information provided by the Canadian side, the military assistance will include 50 Canadian-made armored vehicles, as well as F16 fighter training and maintenance services, as well as maintenance support for Leopard II tanks. The provision of these equipment will help Ukraine strengthen its self-defense capabilities and play an important role in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
Prime Minister Trudeau said Canada has pledged more than $8 billion in aid to Ukraine, including more than $180 million for military aid.
In addition to military aid, Canada and Ukraine have signed a free trade agreement. The agreement will support Ukraine's economic development and provide privileged access for Canadian companies, further strengthening the partnership between the two countries. This will not only facilitate trade between the two sides, but also create more jobs for Ukraine.
This should be the accession of another country after the United States entered the economic development of Ukraine, on the one hand, this is of certain help to Ukraine, on the other hand, more countries began to have privileges to enter Ukraine, the so-called cooperation, in fact, is another form of sharing the cake.
In addition, Canada and Ukraine will work with the G7 to establish a working group that will advise policymakers on the seizure and confiscation of Russian assets. This move is aimed at imposing tougher sanctions against Russia in response to Russia's aggression on Ukrainian territory.
To further pressure, Canada will also add 63 more Russian individuals and entities to the sanctions list. This move demonstrates Canada's condemnation of Russia's actions and will impose corresponding economic sanctions on these individuals and entities.
