Canada to supply Ukraine with AIM missiles for air defence

Canada will provide Ukraine with a shipment of AIM missiles for air defence systems, Ukrainian Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced after speaking with his Canadian counterpart, David McGuinty.

According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence, AIM missiles are particularly effective against Russian cruise missiles, and the weapons are already en route to Ukraine, Caliber.Az reports.

Fedorov thanked Canada for its support, highlighting that recent deliveries under the PURL (Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List) initiative played a key role in countering Russia’s massive air attacks.

The ministers also discussed cooperation in drone production. Fedorov noted that Ukraine is interested in collaborating with Canadian companies specialising in drone management. 

Additionally, they addressed Canadian involvement in training Ukrainian military personnel.
