Canada will provide another $500 million in military assistance to Ukraine, in addition to sanctions against nearly two dozen Russians, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office announced.
The additional funding, which will help fund military, surveillance and communications equipment, fuel, and medical supplies, will be added to the $3.4 billion in Canadian assistance to Kyiv for its defence against Russia’s invasion, according to Trudeau’s office.
Monday’s sanctions target 23 Russian individuals “involved in gross and systematic human rights violations against Russian opposition leaders,” including police officers, prosecutors, judges and prison officials, the statement added.
