Ottawa pledges $32M to boost Ukraine security on anniversary of Russian war
Friday’s announcement includes $7.5 million for demining efforts, $13 million for “accountability efforts” that include addressing conflict-related sexual violence, and $12 million to counter chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats.
“Canada’s support for Ukraine’s sovereignty is unwavering. We will not stand down until Russia is held accountable for its crimes.”Furthermore, the government announced Friday it has joined the “Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group for Ukraine ” alongside the United States, United Kingdom and European Union. The group will support Ukraine’s war crimes division and prosecutor general to investigate and prosecute war crimes committed in Ukraine, the government said.
Earlier in the day, the United Kingdom and the United States separately imposed new sanctions, including export bans and tariffs on all materials used in the war, as well as “third country actors” supporting Russia’s war effort across Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Hours after Putin launched his invasion last year, the G7 came together to impose severe sanctions against Moscow, the first in what would be multiple packages aimed at restricting Russia’s ability to fund its war efforts in Ukraine.
