OTTAWA — Canada is buying artillery ammunition and night vision equipment for Ukraine as part of its latest round of aid for the country.
Defence Minister Bill Blair met with the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, which includes about 50 allied countries led by the United States.
The Czechs said last month they have 800,000 pieces of ammunition and needed other countries to chip in to help get it to the front lines. Canada's military support for Ukraine has reached $4 billion in the two years since Russia's full-scale invasion. "The long-term vision is to actually significantly increase munitions production here in Canada, because I believe very much production is deterrence," he said.
