This delivery is part of Canada's extensive military assistance to Ukraine, which has exceeded $4.5 billion since 2022. Recent support announced earlier this year also included 80,840 CRV-7 rocket motors and 1,300 warheads, machine guns and pistols, chassis from M113s and more. Canada recently signed a fourth supplementary agreement with Ukraine for an additional credit of 400 million Canadian dollars (approximately $300 million USD). The country has also taken a leadership role in fighter pilot training, committing $389 million over five years for F-16 pilot training programs. Notably, Canada has explicitly permitted Ukraine to use Canadian-supplied military equipment, including tanks and armored vehicles, within Russian territory. "Ukrainians know best how to defend their homeland, and we aim to support their capability," stated André-Anne Poulin, a spokesperson for the Canadian Ministry of Defense, adding that "Canada has no geographical restrictions on the use of military equipment we transfer to Ukraine."
