Canada Announces $38 Million Aid Package to Ukraine During the Summit on Peace for Ukraine

Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau announced a $38 million package of measures in support of Ukraine during the second day of the Summit on Peace for Ukraine.

With this new aid package, Canada once again is reaffirming its solidarity with Ukraine and its support for a just and lasting peace.

$15 million will be allocated to support vulnerable children, youth at risk, and the reintegration of displaced children returning to Ukraine through improved child protection services and family-based care options.

Canada is investing $20 million to support Ukraine’s urgent efforts to replace damaged energy equipment and infrastructure. Russia’s constant attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure left millions of civilians without electricity, water, and heat. 

$15.4 million is going to be directed at helping improve the safety of Ukrainians and help Ukraine rebuild: 

• Support the International Monetary Fund in its efforts to help Ukraine acquire the technical assistance and training needed for economic reforms and eventual accession to the European Union.

• Improve Ukraine’s capacity to safely clear its territory of mines and other explosive remnants of war.

• Provide Ukraine’s government with technical assistance from Government of Canada experts in the justice and energy sectors.

The Government of Canada is also investing $2 million to uphold the safe and secure operations of nuclear facilities in Ukraine through the International Atomic Energy Agency.
