Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday thanked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for donating a surface-to-air missile system to the country that one former military general describes as a “life or death” capability amid continued assaults.
The announcement that Canada will purchase a U.S.-manufactured National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) for Ukraine came in a readout released from the Prime Minister’s Office earlier Tuesday.
In a tweet Tuesday afternoon, Zelenskyy said Trudeau’s “true leadership in standing for democracy and human rights has been vividly proven again.”
“Thank you for helping us to protect our sky,” Zelenskyy wrote. “NASAMS procured for us by Canada will be a strong shield for our cities and citizens.”
