BRUSSELS, Oct 12 – Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand announced a new batch of aid to the Ukrainian armed forces, which includes ammunition, communications equipment, winter clothing, armored vehicles and artillery.

She made the corresponding announcement on Wednesday at NATO headquarters.

Some $15 million was allocated for the purchase of equipment needed in the winter – hats, gloves, boots, parkas (a type of winter jacket) – what Ukrainian soldiers will need on the front lines. They will purchase this from Canadian suppliers. An additional $15 million will be allocated for drone camera purchases, she announced.
