CANADA ALLOCATES $1.5 BLN TO UKRAINE FOR ONE YEAR

9 May , 2022  

Canada has decided to allocate $1.5 billion to Ukraine for the year and the country has already received $0.5 billion, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said at a press conference in Kyiv after talks with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“Money is also a weapon. Canada today decided to allocate 1.5 billion for the year and we have already received 0.5 billion. This is powerful help. Canada is second only to the US in terms of aid,” he said.
At the same time, Zelensky again focused on support with weapons. “We lack heavy weapons. We all know perfectly well which powers have the technical capability, where peace reigns, weapons are not used, which powers can transfer these weapons to us,” he said.
