In a press conference held in Brussels on Thursday, Canadian Defence Minister Bill Blair made an important announcement regarding Canada's support for Ukraine. He stated that Canada will be supplying Ukraine with a variety of weapons and ammunition, including rockets, small arms ammunition, and remote-controlled weapon mounts for military vehicles.
Specifically, Blair mentioned that Canada will provide Ukraine with 2,300 Canadian Rocket Vehicle 7s (CRV7s) rocket motors. These highly advanced rockets were previously used by the Royal Canadian Air Force on their CF-18 aircraft. Additionally, Canada will also be sending a significant number of rounds of small arms ammunition and 29 Nanuk remote systems. These systems are remote-controlled weapon mounts that are commonly used by the Canadian Army on their light armoured vehicles.
Blair also shared some exciting news about the new fleet of armoured vehicles that Canada is sending to Ukraine. This week, the first four vehicles will be departing from Canada and will be delivered to the Ukrainian armed forces in the coming weeks. This marks the beginning of the shipment of a total of 50 armoured vehicles that Canada will be providing to Ukraine.
This move by Canada is a clear demonstration of their commitment to supporting Ukraine in their efforts to strengthen their armed forces. It also reflects the strong partnership and friendship between Canada and Ukraine. The Canadian government remains dedicated to working with Ukraine to promote peace and stability in the region.
