As NATO summit ends, Canada promises more military aid to Ukraine
By David Akin | Global News | June 30, 2022
Canada is set to provide the Ukrainian armed forces with more than three dozen new armoured personnel and some new drone cameras, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said as the NATO leaders’ summit in Madrid ended Thursday.
Additionally, Canada will host two new NATO research centres, one which will focus on new security challenges brought on by climate change and another which will focus purely on solving defence and security problems and inventing new defence technology.

Thursday's announcement follows an agreement reached Wednesday with Latvia that will see Canada lead an enhanced and enlarged NATO force in the Baltic country.
"In the face of Russia's ongoing attack on Ukraine — an attack on democracy, human rights, freedom, and security everywhere — NATO has reaffirmed its enduring transatlantic bond. NATO Allies are united and determined to uphold the Alliance's values, and to strengthen our defensive alliance, for now and for the future," Trudeau said in a written statement.
The armoured personnel carriers Canada will send to the Ukrainian military should be delivered this summer. Canadian officials declined to be more specific for operational security reasons. Canada will deliver 39 armoured combat support vehicles (ACSVs) plus parts and other elements so that they can be serviced and maintained.
