Canada sending another $50 million in specialized equipment to Ukraine: Trudeau

BY The Canadian Press, Mar 9, 2022 6:13 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced Canada is sending another 50-million-dollars in military equipment to Ukraine.

The latest shipment will include cameras used in drones that are manufactured by a Canadian company.

During a news conference in Berlin with Germany's chancellor, Trudeau admitted getting the equipment into Ukraine hasn't been easy, but believes the challenges aren't insurmountable.

Trudeau and Chancellor Olaf Scholz discussed the need for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and energy security in Europe, which is heavily reliant on Russian oil and gas.
