Canada will decide on transferring CRV7 rockets to Ukraine, according to a briefing by Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair.
According to Blair, Canada is currently assessing the safety of transporting missiles. The verification process will take several days.
"We are doing the work right now to make sure that those munitions can be safely transported. Once that has been determined - and that should only be a matter of days – we will move as quickly as possible to get all of that resource to Ukraine as quickly as possible," said Blair.
Rockets CRV7
Earlier, we reported that the head of Ukraine's Main Directorate of Intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, requested Canada to transfer over 80,000 CRV7 rockets, which could be disposed.
We also informed that Canada may transfer CRV7 rockets to Ukraine.
In early February, during a parliamentary session, the leader of the opposition Conservative Party of Canada, Pierre Poilievre, demanded sending CRV7 rockets to Ukraine. He emphasized that it is better to provide ammunition to Ukraine rather than dispose of them.
