OTTAWA, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a new package of military aid to Ukraine while on a visit to Kyiv, the prime minister's office said.

The C$2 billion (US$1.45 billion) funding was agreed at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Canada, in June.

Of this amount, approximately C$835 million (US$603 million) is earmarked for the purchase of a range of critical equipment for Ukraine, including armored vehicles, medical equipment, small arms, ammunition, explosives and other necessary supplies, the press release said.

Another 680 million Canadian dollars /491 million US dollars/ will go towards purchasing military equipment from the US to strengthen Ukraine's air defense.

About 220 million Canadian dollars (159 million US dollars) will be allocated for the purchase of drones, counter-drone systems and electronic warfare, including investments in joint projects of Ukrainian and Canadian enterprises. –0–
