Canada will provide an additional $50 million to purchase military drones and drone parts for Ukraine, which has been at war with Russia since 2022.
Defence Minister David McGuinty announced the new funding at the 32nd Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting, co-hosted by Germany and the United Kingdom, on Dec. 16. More than 50 countries attended the virtual meeting to “discuss Ukraine’s urgent requirements and progress on key multilateral initiatives,” the defence department said in a Dec. 16 release.
