The Canadian Ministry of Defense announced the delivery of 155-mm ammunition to Ukraine for M777 howitzers. This was stated by the country's Defense Minister Anita Anand. According to her, the batch will include more than 20 thousand shells and it will be a free delivery.

According to open sources, about a hundred M777 howitzers should be in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine today, since 90 guns were supplied by the USA, ten more by Canada and Australia.
In turn, Greece admitted that it had sent a new batch of weapons to Ukraine, but did not disclose what it included. The Ministry of Defense of the country says in a statement that all weapons supplied to Kiev were taken from reserves and do not affect the country's defense capability in any way. It is assumed that we can talk about infantry fighting vehicles BMP-1 from the presence of the Greek army or Soviet-made air defense systems.
