Trudeau mum on heavy artillery details for Ukraine over security concerns
Global News
Trudeau first announced Tuesday that Canada will send heavy artillery to Ukraine in response to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's request.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he’s not going to provide more details about his government’s pledge to send a new round of military aid to Ukraine _ at least not yet.
The prime minister said Wednesday that he doesn’t want to outline the specifics of what will be sent, and where the government is getting it from, because of security concerns.
Trudeau said he wants to be careful about what he publicizes about the delivery of military equipment in the context of Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
He said he hopes to share more in the coming days about what is being sent to Ukraine.
“People understand that delivery of military equipment in the context of an illegal war by Russia is something that we have to be a little bit careful about _ what we broadcast and publicize and what we’re doing,” Trudeau said during a media availability in Kitchener, Ont.
“But in the coming days, I certainly hope to be able to share more about what is being sent and what was sent.”
Trudeau first announced Tuesday that Canada will send heavy artillery to Ukraine in response to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s request.
Earlier this month, Zelenskyy released a list of equipment he said the Ukrainian military needed to fight Russia, including 155-millimetre heavy artillery guns and ammunition.
