The head of the Main Intelligence Agency of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, called on the Canadian government to transfer to the Ukrainian Armed Forces more than 83,000 CRV7 missiles that have been removed from service and intended for disposal. He said this in an exclusive interview with Global News.

"We hope it will be a win-win situation," he said.

According to the head of the Main Intelligence Agency, CRV7 will be used both in Ukrainian attack helicopters and in ground launchers to destroy Russian tanks and artillery.

According to him, Ukraine is discussing this issue with Canada, but is still awaiting a decision.

Canadian officials said they were studying the request, but warned that the CRV7s are decades old and could become unstable, making them dangerous to handle and transport.
