Ottawa announces another $51 million in aid programming for Ukraine

On Friday, the federal Liberal government unveiled $51 million in new aid and reconstruction funding for Ukraine, including humanitarian assistance such as food and shelter alongside supports for recent veterans.
International Development Randeep Sarai travelled to Ukraine and Poland this week, meeting with cabinet ministers including Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko to assess reconstruction priorities firsthand during the conflict.
The allocation includes $32 million for humanitarian aid through organizations like the Red Cross, $5 million for veteran reintegration, and $5 million for UN Women to help Kyiv meet European Union requirements.
Another $6 million will help Ukraine prepare to eventually administer elections and educate voters, with Sarai praising officials for "starting this two years ago" despite ongoing logistical challenges in conflict zones.
Canada has provided nearly $26 billion in support since Russia's invasion began nearly 1,500 days ago, demonstrating sustained commitment to Ukraine's reconstruction and long-term stability throughout the protracted conflict.
