Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he has told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Canada will soon send Ukraine “highly specialized equipment.”

Trudeau says during a visit to Berlin that Zelensky also accepted an invitation to address the Canadian Parliament during their conversation. Zelensky spoke to the British Parliament on Tuesday.

Trudeau says Canada will be able to start sending “in the coming days” equipment including cameras used in drones. He acknowledged that “there are challenges at the borders in terms of getting equipment securely across and into Ukrainian hands, but we are working through that.”
