Canada says it has provided heavy artillery to Ukraine forces | Al Jazeera

Canada says it has provided heavy artillery to Ukrainian security forces, following up on a pledge by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier this week to send more artillery to Ukraine in the face of a Russian assault on the country’s east.

Canada has now delivered a number of M777 howitzers and associated ammunition to Ukrainian forces, the defence ministry said.

It added that it is finalising contracts for commercial pattern armoured vehicles that it will send to Ukraine as soon as possible.
