Ukrainian Canadian advocacy group says more aid is needed to help win war against Russia
for new military aid to Ukraine, saying it hopes Ottawa has more spending in store than what was divulged.
As recently as mid-March, before the 2023 budget, Defence Minister Anita Anand promised Canada’s support for Ukraine was not limited. Adrienne Vaupshas, press secretary for Ms. Freeland, who is also the federal Finance Minister, did not directly answer the questions. Instead, she noted that Canada has delivered more than $5.4-billion in total aid to Ukraine since Russia’s assault began, has provided a safe haven for more than 200,000 Ukrainians fleeing the war and has “helped lead global efforts to hold Putin and his henchmen accountable for their illegal and barbaric war” – measures that include sanctions.
RUSI noted that while Ukraine is reluctant to divulge military casualties, it had acknowledged in December, 2022, that as many as 13,000 soldiers had died.
