Canada has given Ukraine the green light to use Canadian-supplied military equipment, including tanks and armored vehicles, on Russian territory, according to a statement from the Canadian Ministry of National Defense on 15 August.

“Ukrainians know best how to defend their homeland, and we aim to support their capability,” said André-Anne Poulin, a spokesperson for the Canadian Ministry of Defense, according to CBC.
Poulin emphasized, “Canada has no geographical restrictions on the use of military equipment we transfer to Ukraine.”

The statement comes as Ukraine has reportedly begun operations in Russia’s Kursk Oblast.
