Sergiy Boyev presented a comprehensive list of Ukraine's military needs that Canada could fulfill over the coming year.

“We aim to develop a comprehensive and coordinated overview of the arms supply activities of each nation, including Canada, as detailed as possible,” emphasized the Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine.

Sergiy Boyev and Stephanie Beck agreed to maintain regular coordination of efforts to establish a clear understanding of the assistance the Ukrainian Defence Forces can rely on.
