Rada deputy speaker, Canadian defense minister discuss provision of non-lethal and lethal arms to Ukraine
First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Andriy Parubiy and the leadership of the Defense Ministry of Canada have discussed the issues related to the provision of lethal and non-lethal weapons to Ukraine.
"We have raised the issue of lethal weapons and conducted more detailed consultations on non-lethal equipment, which Ukraine needs," the Verkhovna Rada website quoted Parubiy, who is on a visit to Canada.
According to the first deputy speaker, they were talking about secure communication systems, counter-battery and electronic warfare equipment, as well as anti-tank weapons and armored vehicles.
Canada's defense department officials also agreed to retain the same number of military trainers in Ukraine. "Now there is a regular rotation of military units, although their number remains unchanged. It is important for us not to have the already existing programs phased out," Parubiy stressed.
