She added that "Canada's military support for Ukraine is robust and unwavering."
This year's Canadian budget envisages more than $400 million for the purchase of modern weapons for Ukraine. In addition, since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Canada has given Ukraine tens of thousands of weapons from its own stocks, including seven long-range howitzers and high-precision ammunition for them.
