Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Feb. 24, exactly a year after Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine, that Canada will be sending an additional four tanks and one armored recovery vehicle to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The four Leopard 2 main battle tanks that will be sent are in addition to another four that were already given to Ukraine earlier this year, which Defence Minister Anita Anand announced in late January.
