Canada Reaffirms Support for Ukraine with New Military and Financial Aid Package

On the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Canadian government has announced a new package of military, financial, and energy assistance to support Ukraine.

Canadian Defense Minister David McGinty confirmed the extension of Operation UNIFIER for an additional three years, now set to continue until 2029. This mission will enable Canadian military personnel to train Ukrainian soldiers and commanders, with an increase in personnel to better tailor training to the needs of the Ukrainian armed forces.

As part of this new commitment, Canada is allocating $2 billion in military aid for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. This package includes the provision of over 400 armored vehicles, comprising 66 light armored vehicles (LAV 6) and 383 Senator armored vehicles, aimed at enhancing the capabilities of the Ukrainian military on the battlefield.

In addition to military support, Canada is also contributing an extra $20 million to the Energy Support Fund for Ukraine. This funding will be directed towards procuring equipment necessary for repairing and restoring critical energy infrastructure that has been damaged by Russian strikes.

Alongside these measures, Canada is imposing new sanctions against Russia, targeting 21 individuals and 53 companies. The sanctions also include restrictions on 100 vessels associated with Russia’s “shadow fleet” and a reduction in the price cap on Russian oil. The Canadian government emphasizes that these actions are intended to diminish Russia’s financial capacity to sustain its military operations.

Officials in Ottawa reiterated that Canada’s support for Ukraine remains steadfast, pledging continued military assistance to help defend Ukraine’s sovereignty and achieve lasting peace.
