Canada Announces $64.8 Million Military Assistance to Ukraine
On October 18, 2024, at a NATO meeting in Brussels, Canada's Defence Minister Bill Blair announced $64.8 million in military assistance to Ukraine. This includes $27.3 million for small arms and ammunition, $20 million for military uniforms for women soldiers, and $5 million towards drone capability support. The package is part of a larger $500 million commitment announced earlier in 2024. This move continues Canada's long-standing support for Ukraine amid ongoing conflict.
