Even though Canada does not have a lot of tanks, it was made sure that it was the first country to deliver the tanks it had, as a symbolic gesture, but this is very important.
About it in a conversation in podcast Ukraine Calling says Canadian lawyer and soldier in Ukraine’s territorial defense Daniel Bilak.
He said, that Canada is a very important member of the alliance that is helping Ukraine.
«Actually, there’s been some, not a lot of the discussion around it, but Canada is a leader in electronic warfare systems. And my understanding is that a lot of that has come here, as well as armoured vehicles called the Senator, which are produced in Toronto, where a lot of Ukrainians from Ukraine who have come to Canada are now working to build these things. And our boys on the front lines really like these things», — he said.

The Canadians and the Canadian government can be by and large very proud of its position and support to Ukraine, accented Daniel Bilak:
«You know, the fact that not all Canadians are happy, I think some of that reflects domestic unhappiness, if you like, or concerns, which always gets translated into concerns about other things. But I, foreign policy-wise, but I think that the Canadians and the Canadian government can be by and large very proud of its position and support to Ukraine in this war».
