OTTAWA — The federal government is sending more tax dollars to Ukraine.

In an announcement released on Wednesday, National Defence Minister David McGuinty and Foreign Minister Anita Anand pledged an additional $200 million to fund Ukraine’s ongoing war against Russia’s now nearly four-year long invasion.

The aid will consist of U.S.-sourced critical military hardware purchased through NATO’s Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL.)
