Nato member Canada, which has one of the world’s largest Ukrainian diasporas, has supplied military and financial assistance to Ukraine since the invasion launched by Russia in February 2022.
“As a result of the air fight, debris from one of the drones fell on to a high-rise apartment, causing a fire,” the southern military command’s spokeswoman Natalia Humeniuk said. Russia also fired drones and ballistic and cruise missiles at the Poltava region, inflicting “some damage of infrastructure and equipment” at the Myrhorod military airfield, the regional governor said.
