The federal government has unveiled more than $235 million in new funding for Ukraine, with Defence Minister David McGuinty and Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand outlining Canada’s latest military and humanitarian commitments.
McGuinty said Canada will partner with NATO allies to purchase a major package of critical military capabilities sourced from the United States, valued at roughly USD $500 million. Canada’s share of that contribution will total $200 million. Speaking at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels, Anand announced an additional $35 million for NATO’s Comprehensive Assistance Package for Ukraine.
According to Global Affairs Canada, this funding will help deliver medical supplies, protective gear, communications equipment, training, logistics support, and initiatives designed to strengthen Ukraine’s interoperability with NATO forces while helping rebuild key defence infrastructure.
Global Affairs Canada says Canada has now committed nearly $22 billion in support for Ukraine since 2022. That figure includes $6.5 billion in military assistance pledged through 2029, reflecting Ottawa’s ongoing role in Ukraine’s defence and reconstruction efforts.
