Ottawa, Canada – Canada and Ukraine have announced a new partnership to provide support to veterans of the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine.
The partnership will see Canada provide $10 million to Ukraine over the next five years to help fund programs and services that support veterans’ physical and mental health, as well as their transition back to civilian life.
Canadian Minister of Veterans Affairs Lawrence MacAulay and his Ukrainian counterpart, Pavlo Rozenko, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in Ottawa on Friday, February 10, 2025.
“Canada is proud to stand with Ukraine as it works to support its veterans,” said MacAulay. “This partnership will help to ensure that Ukrainian veterans have access to the support and services they need to rebuild their lives.”
Rozenko expressed his gratitude for Canada’s support, saying that it would make a significant difference in the lives of Ukrainian veterans.
“This partnership is a testament to the strong bond between Canada and Ukraine,” said Rozenko. “We are grateful for Canada’s continued support, which will help us to provide our veterans with the care and support they deserve.”
The partnership between Canada and Ukraine will focus on four key areas:
- Providing financial assistance to veterans
- Offering access to healthcare and rehabilitation services
- Supporting veterans’ mental health
- Assisting veterans with their transition back to civilian life
The MOU also includes provisions for the exchange of information and expertise between Canada and Ukraine on best practices in veteran support.
Canada has a long history of supporting veterans, both domestically and internationally. The country has provided billions of dollars in funding to support veterans’ programs and services, and has deployed Canadian Armed Forces personnel to assist with veteran support efforts in countries around the world.
Ukraine has been engaged in a conflict with Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine since 2014. The conflict has resulted in the deaths of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians, and has displaced millions of people from their homes.
The partnership between Canada and Ukraine is a significant step forward in providing support to Ukrainian veterans. It is hoped that the partnership will help to improve the lives of Ukrainian veterans and their families, and will contribute to the long-term stability and security of Ukraine.
