Defence Minister Anita Anand says Ottawa and an Ontario company have agreed to deliver armoured vehicles to Ukrainian forces to help their fight against Russian troops.
Anand also says Canada is sending up to 225 Canadian Armed Forces members to Britain for an initial period of four months to teach Ukrainian soldiers the basics of soldiering.
Her announcement today comes nearly six months after Canada suspended its previous training mission in Ukraine just weeks before Russia invaded its neighbour back in February.
Since the invasion, Ukraine says roughly 10-thousand of its soldiers have been killed and thousands more wounded and missing.
