National Defense Minister Bill Blair said Canada was sending $64.8 million in military aid to Ukraine.
Blair made the announcement at a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels where the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia was the main topic.
More than $50 million will be spent on weapons, ammunition and military drones, as well as uniforms and personal protective equipment for Ukrainian soldiers.
The remaining funding is to support military training for those soldiers and to strengthen Ukraine's cyber forces.
The funding comes from $500 million pledged by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the NATO summit in July.
Canada has provided more than $19.5 billion in aid to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.
