 Canada announces new aid for Ukraine, weapons and training. The Government of Canada has announced providing additional military assistance to Ukraine, including other ammunition, and expanding the training programme for the Ukrainian military. Canada's new aid was announced after the 12th meeting of the Contact Group of the Defence of Ukraine, known as the Ramstein Format. Anita Anand, Defence Minister, announced that Canada would send five more tactical medicine instructors to Poland in addition to the seven who are already training the Ukrainian military there. These additional CAF members will double the number of potential Ukrainian graduates, the communique says. In addition, as part of operational unifier, Canadian and Latvian instructors have been training low-level commanders together since 15 May. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, Canadian instructors have trained more than 2,400 Ukrainian soldiers and more than 36,000 since the start of the operation in 2015. In addition, Anita Anand announced the provision of 43 AIM-9 air-to-air missiles, noting that this will help Ukraine defend itself from air attacks. The Minister also confirmed that the batch of small arms and ammunition promised in April had been partially delivered and that the rest would arrive soon. In particular, machine guns, automatic rifles, weapon cleaning supplies and magazines are already in Ukraine. Another million 5.56mm rounds and 4,800 assault rifles will be delivered next week. Anita Anand also recalled that Canada helps transport military aid from other Western allies and its military transport planes have already delivered more than 4,000 tonnes of such cargo.
