Canada bought gasoline and sniper rifles for Ukraine - as part of the latest military aid package announced by Defense Minister Anita Anand on Friday at a meeting of allies in Europe.

Anand also announced that Canada purchased up to 3.3 million liters of gasoline through the NATO program. This announcement came at a monthly meeting of countries helping supply weapons and equipment to the war-torn Eastern European country, held at a U.S. airbase in Ramstein, Germany.

The fuel contract is valued at $34.6 million.

The Liberal government will also buy sniper rifles and 40.50 caliber ammunition from a Canadian company in Winnipeg, and $2 million worth of radios - 16 in total - to be used in Leopard 2 tanks, eight of which were donated by the Canadian army last winter.

Also included in another part of the aid package announced this Friday is providing Ukraine with modular floating bridges that allow combat engineers to cross rivers or replace damaged bridges.

Friday's meeting was the first gathering of allies since a major leak of U.S. intelligence information, where a leaked intelligence document - reported by The Washington Post earlier this week - stated that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau privately told NATO leaders that Canada will spend more of its GDP on defense spending. It will never meet the military alliance standard of 2 percent.

The leaked intelligence assessment, which the newspaper said was stamped by the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, indicated that allies doubted Canada's ability to fulfill its military commitments - especially to Latvia.

Also in Washington on Thursday, a senior defense official speaking on background said that the release of secret documents is unlikely to obstruct ongoing efforts to support Ukraine.

The meeting comes a day after a surprise visit by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg to Kyiv, the first since the full-scale Russian invasion in February 2022.
