The Canadian government has decided to transfer to Ukraine a batch of military aid worth almost USD 100 million. Almost the entire amount will be directed to shells for M777 field howitzers previously received by Ukrainian troops from Western countries. The corresponding statement was made by Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand, according to the Canadian television and radio company CBC. According to her, USD 98 million of the adopted package of military assistance will include the transfer of 20,000 155-millimeter shells to towed field howitzers M777. Anand noted that these shells were not taken from Canadian Forces warehouses, but were purchased for donation to Ukraine.
