Kiev – International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen says Canada will provide $5.7 million for Ukrainians to meet their basic needs. Ottawa says it’s maintaining solidarity with Ukraine two-and-a-half years into Russia’s full-scale invasion as Hussen visits Kyiv. The trip has a focus on children, with Hussen visiting the main children’s hospital, which was damaged by a Russian missile in July. The funding includes $2 million for Save the Children Canada, which has helped Ukrainian kids with food, education and psychosocial support. Another $3.5 million will go toward medical and mental-health services provided by International Medical Corps UK, and $200,000 is set aside for the UN humanitarian service.
