Ongoing assistance / oversight tracking | Last updated November 3, 2026
Research note

This research file separates announced commitments, loans, contribution agreements, military equipment valuations, procurement contract values and reported disbursements. These are not interchangeable. Some individual allocations listed below form part of larger announced packages and must not be added to those package totals a second time. Military assistance figures may include equipment transferred from Canadian Armed Forces inventories, equipment purchased for donation, and future procurement. A monetary value does not necessarily mean that the same amount has been paid in cash. The Government of Canada's current headline figure is over $25.5 billion in multifaceted assistance since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. This initial ledger contains individually identified monetary items from published government summaries and announcements; it is not yet a complete extraction of every historical Global Affairs Canada project record. Canada's Aid Ledger reports 646 international-assistance project rows for Ukraine across fiscal years 2005-06 to 2024-25, including years before the full-scale invasion. A complete historical project-by-project reconciliation remains outstanding. Figures should be updated as new disclosures and official records become available.
