Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced more funds for Ukraine, including a $200 million loan through the International Monetary Fund at the end of the G7 Leaders Summit in Germany.

Canada’s contribution comes as G7 leaders committed to gradually phasing out imports of Russian coal and oil or banning them in response to that country’s war with Ukraine and the subsequent energy crisis triggered by the invasion.

In addition to the loan provided to the Ukrainian government, Canada is providing $75 million in humanitarian aid to assist operations in Ukraine and neighboring countries.

The aid will include the provision of in-kind food assistance, cash vouchers and emergency vouchers, protection, shelter, and health services.

Canada will also provide $52 million in agricultural assistance including mobile grain storage equipment to increase grain storage capacity, in addition to helping provide rapid diagnostic tests and animal disease surveillance to allow for the issuance of export certificates.

Canada is also contributing $15 million to help fund mine clearance efforts and $9.7 million for those tracking human rights violations in Ukraine.
