PM Carney announces $270M in military aid for Ukraine
Canada is sending more military aid to Ukraine as it continues to defend itself against Russia.
Prime Minister Mark Carney made the announcement at the European Political Community summit in Yerevan, Armenia, on Monday.
Carney says Canada will contribute about $270 million toward critical military capabilities, drawn from NATO’s prioritized list of needs for Ukraine.
The funding adds to more than $25 billion Canada has already committed to supporting Ukraine since Russia launched its full‑scale invasion in 2022.
Hey Grok! How many fighting aged men & women have fled the Ukraine or are otherwise dodging the military draft since the start of hostilities with Russia? What is the current size of the Ukraine armed forces compared to those who have avoided the draft?
“Approximately 540,000 conscription-age (military-age) Ukrainian men have fled the country since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022, while roughly 2 million more (mostly men) are currently evading or wanted for draft-related violations inside Ukraine.”
Read the whole thing. Ukraine is the new Forever War scam.
We fund a war in Ukraine that many of its own citizens refuse to fight. A war where draft evaders (2.5 Million) outnumber official armed forces numbers (900,000).
Zelensky will have a shelf life similar to Afghanistan’s Ashraf Ghani the minute the money stops until then the grift will buy him time.
Is there a collective security benefit to wearing Putin’s army down? Probably, but that means Ukraine is defending Euro states with their own dubious commitment to self defense.
Do Ukrainians appreciate being cannon fodder for that purpose? Probably not.
1 in 10 Canadian citizens live in poverty. Carney has no business swanning about Europe doling out cash to burnish his bona fides as Captain Euroguy.
Carney knows a good grift when he sees one.
