“Ukrainians know best how to defend their homeland,” says Canadian defense department.

Ukraine can use Canadian tanks and missiles in its ongoing special military operation on Russia soil, Ottawa said.

Canada places no geographic restrictions on the use of military equipment it has donated and continues to donate to Ukraine, Andrée-Anne Poulin, Canadian defense department spokesperson, told POLITICO in an email on Friday.

“Ukrainians know best how to defend their homeland, and we’re committed to supporting their capacity,” Poulin added. “Canada steadfastly supports Ukraine’s right to defend itself against Russia’s illegal and unjustifiable war — and that is why we have committed over $4 billion in military assistance to Ukraine.”
