OTTAWA — Canada will send another $25 million worth of defensive equipment to Ukraine in an effort to help the country defend against Russia’s invasion.

Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly and Defence Minister Anita Anand made the announcement at a press conference on Sunday afternoon.

Joly says the equipment includes helmets, body armour, gas masks and night-vision gear.

She says it will be routed through Poland to get there as quickly as possible.

Anand says Canada will offer up cybersecurity experts who can help Ukraine “defend its networks against cyber attacks that are increasingly forming part of modern-day warfare.”
