Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan made the announcement during a virtual address at the UN Tuesday
Canada is providing $100-million in new humanitarian assistance to the United Nations to support aid operations in Ukraine and refugees in neighbouring countries.
“Today we come together to stand shoulder to shoulder with our Ukrainian friends in the face of Vladimir Putin’s naked, territorial aggression. The decisions we take today and over the coming weeks and months will not only determine how we are remembered by history but will fundamentally shape and change the world our children and our grandchildren live in,” Mr. Sajjan told the UN.
