Ukraine’s minister of foreign affairs, Dmytro Kuleba, says his country is in urgent need of weapons and wishes the air defence system Canada promised more than a year ago was already in Ukraine.
Canada announced plans in January 2023 to donate a $406-million surface-to-air missile defence system, but there’s still no delivery date.
“Of course, we wish the system was already in Ukraine because we are in a situation where every piece of air defence matters,” Kuleba said when asked by CBC News at the conclusion of the Ukraine peace summit in Switzerland on Sunday.
