The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, thanked the Prime Minister

of Canada,

Justin Trudeau, for the purchase of the NASAMS air defense system battery for Ukraine.

The head of state

wrote

about this on Twitter.

He noted that this demonstrates the leadership of the Canadian Prime Minister in defense of democracy and human rights.

"Dear Justin Trudeau, your true leadership in defense of democracy and human rights has been clearly demonstrated again. Thank you for helping us protect our skies. The NASAMS purchased for us by Canada will become a strong shield for our cities and citizens," the President emphasized.

It will be recalled that earlier it was reported that Canada

will purchase from the USA and transfer to Ukraine a modern NASAMS air defense system

In addition, we previously reported that the US Department of Defense signed a $1.2 billion contract with Raytheon Technologies for the 

production of six NASAMS air defense systems for Ukraine
