What military aid does Ukraine expect from its partners?

The Canadian government has asked the parliament to allocate CAD 250M ($192M) for military assistance to Ukraine. In addition, Canada’s Defense Minister Bill Blair announced that his country will decide in the coming days whether to transfer decommissioned CRV7 air missiles to Ukraine.

He clarified that not all of Canada’s more than 83,000 missiles of this type are in good working order, but “a certain number of them are still usable, as well as some of their components, in particular the engines that the Ukrainians can use.”

Meanwhile, Ukraine began negotiations with Spain on the conclusion of a bilateral security agreement.

Lithuania expressed its readiness to join the Czech Republic’s initiative to purchase ammunition from sources outside the EU for the needs of Ukraine’s Armed Forces.

However, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz found another excuse not to send long-range missiles. He said that the transfer of the Taurus missiles is impossible because Germany must retain control over the deployment of this weaponry, and this is possible only if German soldiers are present on Ukrainian territory.
