According to the politician, air defense systems are "a top priority for Ukraine."
"That's why Canada will buy a national advanced anti-aircraft missile system from the United States to transfer it to Ukraine," RIA Novosti quoted Anand as saying.
Earlier, Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said that air defense and armored vehicles would be the main topics of the meeting of the group on military assistance to Ukraine.
In December last year, the Russian Foreign Ministry expressed the hope that the countries of the Middle East would not transfer NASAMS air defense systems to Kyiv.
