Canada has announced a significant new round of military aid to Ukraine, committing over C$35 million (US$25.5 million) in advanced military equipment during the 28th Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG) meeting held in Brussels. The aid underscores Ottawa’s deepening commitment to Ukraine’s defense and its broader strategic role within NATO amid continued Russian aggression.

The package, revealed by Canadian Minister of National Defence David J. McGuinty, includes C$30 million for Coyote and Bison armoured vehicles, as well as C$5 million earmarked for electronic warfare (EW) anti-jammer kits. These contributions build on Canada’s growing legacy of military support to Kyiv, which has now surpassed C$4.5 billion since February 2022.

What Canada Is Sending?

The latest delivery includes:

  • Coyote reconnaissance vehicles and Bison armoured personnel carriers, valued at C$30 million

  • Electronic warfare anti-jammer systems worth C$5 million

  • Additional ammunition and combat gear from Canadian defense firms

Both the Bison and Coyote are based on the Canadian-designed LAV II platform, known for its mobility, adaptability, and combat resilience. The Coyote, with its high-resolution surveillance systems and 25mm Bushmaster chain gun, offers critical reconnaissance capabilities. The Bison, equipped for multi-role battlefield support, provides logistical flexibility and troop protection. Upgrades between 2002 and 2008 significantly enhanced both platforms’ operational performance.

Why It Matters: Strengthening Ukraine, Sending a Message to Russia

Minister McGuinty emphasized that the aid aligns with Canada’s broader defense strategy under its Our North, Strong and Free policy, which commits $8.1 billion over five years and $73 billion over two decades to strengthen national and allied security.

“This isn’t just about helping Ukraine — it’s about defending the global rules-based order,” said McGuinty. “Our support sends a united and unambiguous message to Russia: NATO stands firm.”

The decision comes as part of a coordinated Western effort, with the United States continuing to provide strategic weaponry and training, and European allies ramping up artillery and air defense production. At the G7 Summit in London earlier this year, Canadian Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined U.S. Former President Joe Biden and European leaders in pledging long-term support for Ukraine.

Canada has also committed to broader defense sector support, including:

  • $389 million over five years for pilot training, airfield upgrades, and F-16 operational support

  • $60 million for F-16 spare parts and avionics

  • $53 million toward Czech-led artillery procurement

  • $30 million for Leopard 2 tank maintenance in Poland

  • $5 million to NATO’s Drone Capability Coalition

A Legacy of Support and Growing Defense Cooperation

Since 2022, Canada has delivered:

  • 8 Leopard 2A4 tanks

  • 91 LAV 6.0 combat vehicles

  • 208 Roshel Senator armored vehicles

  • 80,000+ CRV-7 rocket motors

  • 12.9 million+ rounds of ammunition

  • 4 M777 howitzers with Excalibur rounds

  • 1 NASAMS air defense system

Canada has also trained over 44,500 Ukrainian personnel under Operation UNIFIER and deployed more than 350 troops for logistics, training, and equipment delivery.

In a notable industrial move, Canadian defense manufacturer Roshel has partnered with Ukraine’s state defense concern Ukroboronprom to co-produce armored vehicles—an agreement expected to accelerate battlefield deliveries and deepen bilateral defense ties.

Western Unity Holds Strong

This new aid package reaffirms Canada’s standing as a leading NATO contributor and a reliable partner in Ukraine’s defense. It not only enhances Ukraine’s capacity to counter Russian advances but also reinforces the credibility and unity of the Western alliance at a critical juncture.

With military and strategic cooperation expanding across North America and Europe, Canada’s asserting its role in global responsibility and its resolve to ensure that peace, sovereignty, and democracy prevail in Eastern Europe.
