Canada’s Defence Minister Anita Anand announced Ottawa will be donating an additional 200 Canadian-made armoured vehicles worth $90 million during a surprise visit to Kyiv and announced Wednesday more military support to help Ukraine respond to Russia’s invasion. The vehicles are being purchased from Roshel, a company based in Mississauga, Ont.

“Today’s donation of 200 armoured vehicles demonstrates our continued commitment to the security of the Ukrainian people,” Anand said.

Anand also expressed condolences after Ukraine's interior ministry was killed in a helicopter crash near the capital that killed at least another 14 people, including other officials and three children, according to authorities.

Interior Minister Denys Monastyrskyi, who oversaw Ukraine’s police and emergency services, is the most senior official to die since Russia invaded nearly 11 months ago. His death, along with two others from his ministry, was the second calamity in four days to clobber Ukraine, after a Russian missile strike on an apartment building killed dozens of civilians.
