International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen says Canada will provide $5.7 million for Ukrainians to meet their basic needs.
Ottawa says it’s maintaining solidarity with Ukraine two-and-a-half years into Russia’s full-scale invasion as Hussen visits Kyiv.
The trip has a focus on children, with Hussen visiting the main children’s hospital, which was damaged by a Russian missile in July.
The funding includes $2 million for Save the Children Canada, which has helped Ukrainian kids with food, education and psychosocial support.
5.7M? Bro, that’s like the market price for a couple basic townhouses in Vancouver.
That’s just a fraction aimed at specific children-related projects. Canada’s total support is much higher as we know.
