Canadian military intelligence officer allegedly shared classified information with Ukraine

Master Warrant Officer Matthew Robar – Is that a Ponytail?

A Canadian military counter-intelligence officer who is facing charges of espionage was allegedly sharing special operational secrets with Ukraine without the approval of his superiors, The Globe and Mail has learned.

Master Warrant Officer Matthew Robar was arrested last week and charged with multiple offences related to passing highly sensitive government secrets to a foreign entity. But the military has not said publicly which country the foreign entity helped.

That country was also not named Monday in military court, where MWO Robar made a brief appearance. But a source told The Globe that the veteran intelligence officer believed he was helping Ukraine in its war against Russia.


Canada is so over run by infiltrators of all stripes we should just provide open door access.

Oh look, I bet the CAF doesn’t have any ... Canada provides $50-million to buy drones and drone parts for Ukraine

Canada’s plan to donate refurbished armour to Ukraine appears to be on the scrap heap

Ukraine has yet to receive the more than two dozen refurbished light armoured vehicles Canada promised to the war-torn country in September 2023, CBC News has learned.

The vehicles remain stuck in bureaucratic and corporate limbo — even though the Department of National Defence delivered the decommissioned vehicles to an Ontario-based company for reconstruction almost two years ago.

The fate of the restoration contract, publicly acknowledged around Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s high-profile visit to Ottawa and believed to be worth between $150 million and $250 million, yet is now shrouded in secrecy.

Bernier claims Freeland’s new position will allow her to send ‘billions to the country of her grandparents’

People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier has criticized the appointment of Chrystia Freeland as Canada’s new Special Representative for the Reconstruction of Ukraine, arguing that Ottawa has already spent too much supporting the war-torn country.

In a post on X, Bernier claimed that Canada has committed $22 billion to Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, alleging that such funding has “unnecessarily prolonged the war” and “destroyed Ukraine.”


Ukraine has a corruption problem and forever wars are grifter nirvana. Look no further than Afghanistan.

When your fighting age men flee the country in droves it’s time to seek peace.

I fully expect to see Zelensky bugging out via helicopter one day with Freeland clinging to the struts.

The Russia-Ukraine war: Where it stands and where it might be going

In most Western countries, including Canada, the celebration known as flag day is greeted with a kind of benevolent, restrained enthusiasm.

Rarely is it ever a visceral event, the way it has become in Ukraine.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy brought that sentiment into sharp focus on Saturday, a day before Prime Minister Mark Carney visited Kyiv as a special guest for Independence Day celebrations and pledged Canada’s ongoing support of Ukraine.

Canada is not ready to grant permanent residence to all Ukrainians

During a press conference in Ottawa, according to Ukrinform, the minister stressed that among Ukrainians who came to Canada after the invasion, many would like to stay in the country. However, mass granting of permanent residence is not part of the government’s plans:

‘Many Ukrainians want to stay. Given the ongoing war in Ukraine, there are some geostrategic concerns, but I am not ready to grant full permanent residence to all 300,000 Ukrainians,’ said Miller.

According to him, such a step could ‘send a defeatist message about the war in Ukraine’, i.e. demonstrate that Canada accepts the long-term impossibility of people returning to their homeland.

Ukraine deputy minister sacked for alleged theft of $400,000

Ukraine’s deputy infrastructure minister, Vasyl Lozinskyi, has been detained and dismissed from his post for allegedly stealing $400,000 (£320,000) intended for purchasing aid, including generators, according to Ukraine’s state anti-corruption detectives and prosecutors.

After the news emerged, Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, vowed that the old ways of corruption would not return to Ukraine.

“I want this to be clear: there will be no return to what used to be in the past, to the way various people close to state institutions or those who spent their entire lives chasing a chair [a state position] used to live,” said Zelenskiy in his nightly address on Sunday without specifically mentioning the case.
