Canada has decided to provide Ukraine with more support against Russia, giving it 1 million Canadian dollars ($790,000) for the purchase of high-resolution satellite imagery and lethal equipment.

"In addition to the various tranches of military equipment we have pledged … we will be providing Ukraine with C$1 million towards the purchase of high-resolution, modern satellite imagery," Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand announced on Thursday.

The lethal equipment Canada is providing Ukraine with includes rocket launchers and hand grenades.

"We intend to supply additional lethal aid to Ukraine, which includes up to 4,500 M72 rocket launchers and up to 7,500 hand grenades," the Defense Minister added.

EU to provide over $500 million to buy arms for Ukraine

European Union member states agreed Sunday to allocate more than $500 million for members to buy arms for Ukraine, foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said.

The 27-nation bloc is not the first entity to supply arms to Ukraine, and despite Hungary earlier refusing to send arms to Kiev, Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson announced that her country would break its doctrine of not sending arms to countries in "conflict" and send military equipment, including anti-tank launchers, to Ukraine.

"Sweden is now proposing direct support for Ukraine's armed forces. It includes 135,000 field rations, 5,000 helmets, 5,000 body shields, and 5,000 anti-tank weapons" Andersson told reporters.

NATO also went along with the decision of arming Kiev, pledging to escalate its military deliveries to Ukraine despite Kiev not being part of the alliance. The deliveries will include anti-tank and anti-aircraft systems and ammunition to Ukraine, NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg said Sunday.

The Defense Minister of the Czech Republic, Jana Cernochova, announced Saturday that Prague would provide Ukraine with $8.6 million in military equipment as well. Canada also joined the race and sent lethal weapons and transport aircraft to Ukraine.
