Historic Decision: Canada May Transfer Russian An-124 To Ukraine
Historic Decision: Canada May Transfer Russian An-124 To Ukraine1.11.2025, 9:47 The airplane has been parked in Toronto since 2022.Canada has sued to confiscate a Russian An-124 cargo plane that has been parked in Toronto since 2022, and if it wins, plans to hand it over to Ukraine as a symbol of punishment for the aggressor.This is reported by Vloomberg.If the court rules in favor of the government, the plane will be handed over to Ukraine as a symbol of responsibility for the war unleashed by Russia.Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand said a lawsuit has already been filed against the plane's owner, the Volga-Dnepr Group, which is under sanctions. She said the transfer of the An-124 would be a "powerful symbol of justice" and would help compensate for Ukraine's losses, as Russia destroyed some of Ukraine's Antonov aircraft at the start of the full-scale invasion."This plane will be a reminder that those who help Russia wage war will bear the consequences. And Ukraine will not be left alone to rebuild," Anand emphasized during a press conference on the margins of the G7 Energy and Environment Ministers Summit in Toronto.Canada is also considering other legal avenues to hand over the confiscated plane to Ukraine as soon as possible - in addition to a court order, a legislative mechanism is not ruled out."Russia is barbarically attacking civilians, kindergartens, hospitals, energy infrastructure. We cannot stand aside," the minister added.If the court grants the lawsuit, the An-124 will become the first major asset of Russian origin officially transferred to Ukraine by Canada.What is known about the An-124The An-124 Ruslan is one of the largest cargo planes in the world, developed in the USSR by the Antonov Design Bureau. It is designed to carry heavy and oversized cargo, including military vehicles, helicopters and equipment for space programs.Canadian authorities noted that Russia could have used it for military supplies, so the aircraft remained banned from departure.The model has a maximum takeoff weight of about 405 tons and can carry cargo of up to 150 tons for a distance of up to 5,000 km. The AN-124 is equipped with four turbojet engines and special nose and tail cargo doors for fast loading and unloading.PATREONSupport the website Write your comment You can support the website Charter97.orgMULTI-CURRENCY ACCOUNT FOR ASSISTANCE:Bank's name: Bank Millennium S.A.Address: ul.
