Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Wednesday that Canada will be extending Operation Unifier by three more years. It will send an additional 60 troops to Ukraine along with non-lethal weapons – but no guns or lethal aid.
Global News had reported earlier in the week that the federal cabinet was weighing whether to send small weapons and ammunition to Ukraine: specifically, firearms like pistols, sniper rifles and machine guns, along with potentially more intelligence sharing and cyber support.
The Ukrainian government had specifically asked for weapons from Canada, along with an extension of Operation Unifier.
