Canada sending anti-tank weapons systems, ammunition to Ukraine, says Trudeau Social Sharing

Canada will send a third shipment of lethal weapons to Ukraine as its military continues to fight off better-armed Russian forces, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday.

"Yesterday, we announced that we would be sending new shipments of military supplies, including body armour, helmets, gas masks and night vision goggles," Trudeau said. "Today we are announcing that we will be supplying Ukraine with anti-tank weapons systems and upgraded ammunition."

Trudeau said the Canadian Armed Forces will provided airlift support to transport supplies and aid and to participate in other NATO efforts in support of Ukraine.

After denouncing Russia at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said she will travel to Warsaw, Poland on Tuesday to "make sure ultimately the delivery is well done."

"My role in this is to make sure this aid gets in the arms of Ukrainian soldiers that are fighting for their life and fighting for their motherland," said Joly. "That's exactly why I've been able to get an agreement from Poland to make sure that delivery could be done through their borders."

After so many years of being torn apart by the money & mass media propaganda, a global pandemic, & now the threat from Vladimer Putin, it is quite a necessary gathering of good, to watch the world powers & the smallest voices finally saying NO MORE, in unison.

We've all had enough.
