Canada will extend the mission to provide engineering training in Ukraine until at least the fall.
Canadian medical trainers will be deployed to help Ukrainian forces with combat medical skills, the state's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says during a press conference.
"We are continuing the training of engineers as part of Operation UNIFIER at least until the fall, and we are also sending members of the Canadian Armed Forces to assist Ukrainian forces with tactical medical skills," Trudeau said.
Canada will also allocate an additional $3 million for demining in Ukraine and together with the EU, "will work on the delivery of energy equipment to Ukraine."
Canada's government is donating seven electrical transformers to repair Ukraine's battered electrical grid. The equipment is part of a multifaceted support for Ukraine to help address critical energy needs as the country continues to defend itself in the second year of russia's war.
