Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is on his way home from a trio of summits that saw leaders focus heavily on Russia's war in Ukraine.
Before heading home from summits in Rwanda, Germany and Spain, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed Canada will be sending more troops to Latvia.
But he stopped short of divulging the exact number.
Trudeau also announced more military equipment for Ukraine, saying the decision to send drone cameras and armoured combat vehicles was based on conversations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his government's ministers.
After the NATO summit wrapped up in Madrid earlier today, Trudeau told reporters that Canada is in the final stages of talks to supply Ukraine with up to 39 armoured combat support vehicles and six more Canadian-made drone cameras.
He also announced Canada will take part in the G-20 summit in Bali in November, even if Russian President Vladimir Putin goes too because it needs to counteract Russia's voice at the table.
