Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made an unannounced trip to Ukraine's capital on Saturday, pledging to offer additional military and humanitarian assistance to the country.
Trudeau said Canada will stand with Ukraine as much as it takes, and pledged to offer new military aid worth 500 million Canadian dollars, or about 375 million US dollars.
Along with the financial assistance, Trudeau said his country will provide precision-guided missiles to the Ukrainian forces.
Trudeau also announced 10 million Canada dollars, or about 7.5 million US dollars, in humanitarian assistance in response to flooding from a breached dam.

The financial assistance will be channeled through international organizations, including the Red Cross and the United Nations.
