“Minister Anand announced that Canada will donate 200 Senator Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC) to Ukraine.

This aid is valued at over $90 million and is allocated as part of the additional $500 million in military aid for Ukraine announced by Prime Minister Trudeau in November 2022,” explained the Government of Canada.
It is noted that the Senator armored personnel carriers are modern maneuverable and easily adapted additionally protected vehicles on which weapons can be installed. They allow for the safe transportation of personnel and equipment, as well as medical evacuation.
