Canada Sends $350M Air Defense Boost to Ukraine | Perth News
Description
Canada just dropped a major bombshell: a $350 million aid package for Ukraine focused on air defense interceptors, crucial as Russia ramps up ballistic missile attacks. Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Zelenskyy sealed the deal, with weapons coming via a U.S.-backed program. Canada’s already poured over $25 billion into Ukraine since 2022, including $8.5 billion in military aid. Beyond interceptors, Canada’s racing to produce millions of drones in two years—with a third for Ukraine—and is backing Ukraine’s energy security with $435 million in loan guarantees. Ground conditions remain brutal: 76 injured, including kids, and cities vital to Ukraine’s war effort are in ruins. Zelenskyy says peace talks won’t happen before Russia’s elections, but U.S. talks on energy and grain are underway. The world’s still fighting to shield Ukraine as the war drags on.
