Among the key components of Canada's military aid package to Ukraine are Senator armoured personnel carriers built by Roshel Defence Solutions, of Mississauga, Ont.
say they do not believe another Russian offensive will come from that direction, Ukraine's military has improved its defences and is arming its soldiers with more powerful Western-made weapons — including Senators."You feel safe in them," said Ukrainian border soldier Vladyslav Piun, as he sat in the driver's seat and gunned the engine, speeding off down a rough rural road just a few kilometres from Ukraine's frontier.
He said until the Senators arrived, his team was using older, flimsier vehicles with metal frames that couldn't stop a bullet. "I think Canada and any other country that helps Ukraine should be proud of themselves," said Solomianyi. "I would like to express the biggest gratitude to the people of Canada, to the government of Canada and directly Ms. Anand, because this package of assistance, which was already proclaimed, is extremely important for us," said Oleksii Reznikov.Canadian Defence Minister Anita Anand visits an exhibit of destroyed Russian military equipment in St. Michael's Square, in Kyiv, on Wednesday.
A mine danger sign and anti-tank constructions are seen near the border with Belarus, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine in Volyn region, on Jan. 13. Roshel's website says the company first started producing the Senator in 2018 and they have been sold to police, military and security forces around the world.
