Ukraine can use Canadian weapons in Russia, says Ottawa

(Ottawa) The federal government says the Ukrainian military can use military equipment supplied by Canada to Russia.


A National Defence spokesman said Canada has no geographic restrictions on military equipment given to Ukraine.

The statement comes after Ukraine launched a surprise military offensive into Russia earlier this month.

The attack is considered unprecedented due to the use of Ukrainian military units on Russian soil.

Ottawa has pledged $4 billion in military aid to Ukraine through 2029.

This includes Leopard 2 main battle tanks, armoured combat support vehicles, M777 howitzers and ammunition.
