Trudeau told reporters in Kyiv that Canada will take part in a cross-national effort to train Ukrainian fighter pilots.

On Friday, the US announced a new 2.1 billion USD package of military aid for Ukraine, which includes funding for more Patriot missile battery munitions, Hawk air defense systems and missiles, and small Puma drones that can be launched by hand to strengthen Kyiv's air defense capacity in the long run.

Since the conflict broke out in Ukraine last February, the US has provided Ukraine with military aid totaling 40 billion USD.
