Canada will send tanks to aid Ukraine’s fight against the invasion, following Russia’s wave of missiles at Ukraine

 
Eleven people died and 11 others were injured after 35 buildings were struck across several regions of the nation.

The worst damage to residential buildings was in the Kyiv region, but officials also reported strikes on two energy facilities in the Odesa region.

The explosion in Kyiv happened during a live broadcast.

Russia is responding to Ukraine’s new offer of military support from the U.K., U.S. and now Canada.

Saying the U.K.’s pledge to send Challenger 2 battle tanks, this shows “direct” Western involvement in the conflict.

The offensive was a continuation of Russia’s months-long tactic of targeting Ukraine’s infrastructure.

The freezing winter has seen power stations destroyed and millions plunged into darkness.

Ukraine is counting on a German delivery of the most effective battle tanks available.

Canada has jumped on board and will soon transfer four Leopard 2 tanks and send Canadian troops to Europe to help train the Ukrainian military.

“These heavily-armoured vehicles provide soldiers with a tactical advantage on the battlefield,” Canadian Minister of National Defence Anita Anand said.
