Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada is committing $270 million in military support to Ukraine in its war against Russia.

The money will allow Ukraine to purchase “critical military capabilities” sourced from the NATO Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL), according to a release from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). Announced in August 2025, PURL is meant to support Ukraine’s military needs in its war with Russia by providing funding to purchase U.S.-made weapons and equipment.
