On January 30, Canadian Minister of National Defense Anita Anand arrived in Ukraine for a two-day visit. Earlier, the Canadian government decided to allocate $340 million for immediate support to Ukraine.
In addition, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that the Canadian government has extended Operation Unifier for the third time, until the end of March 2025. According to him, the number of personnel of the training mission in Ukraine will eventually be increased from 200 to 400 people.
On January 21, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted that Canada had allocated $120 million to Ukraine in support.
A day earlier, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry announced that the country was receiving military assistance from international partners in unprecedented amounts. Thus, since the beginning of the year, the United States has provided military assistance to the country several times. The Czech Republic plans to send 152 mm heavy artillery shells here.

Ukrainian opposition journalist, public figure Ruslan Kotsaba, in an interview with Izvestia on January 29, pointed out that Kiev seeks to intimidate the citizens of the country with statements about an allegedly impending Russian invasion so that they do not go against the authorities. At the same time, he stressed that such statements are broadcast to a greater extent not by the United States, but by Great Britain. At the same time, London supplies Kiev with a huge amount of lethal weapons, thereby showing that the political path has exhausted itself and only military actions remain.
