Canada will give $650 million to Ukraine during 3 years: PM Trudeau

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has pledged $650 million to Ukraine over 3 years.

Trudeau made this announcement during the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Canada.

Trudeau said the money would be used to fund 50 armored vehicles.

Trudeau added that Canada will also send F-15 fighter pilots and maintenance trainers to the Eastern European country.

Part of the funding will also go towards mental health support for people in Ukraine.
