Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly is headed to the Poland-Ukraine border on Tuesday to ensure that Canada’s latest supply of military aid flows into the war-ravaged country.
Her visit comes as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday that Canada was sending anti-tank weapons and upgraded ammunition to Ukraine, which amounted to a significant enhancement in lethal military aid.
Canada will be providing 125 portable anti-tank weapons and 2,000 rockets from the arsenal of the Canadian Forces, said Defence Minister Anita Anand.
Canada was also bolstering its presence in the region so it can fast-track immigration applications for Ukrainians who want to come to Canada, Trudeau added.
Joly said she will also be meeting with her Polish counterparts in Warsaw to discuss the refugee crisis spawned by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“My role in this is to make sure that this aid gets in the arms of Ukrainian soldiers that are fighting for their life and fighting for their motherland,” Joly told reporters from Geneva on Monday.
Joly will be overseeing the delivery of previous Canadian military contributions, not the new anti-tank weaponry announced Monday.
Joly earlier told a United Nations panel that Russia lied to the world in the run-up to its invasion of Ukraine.
