Ukraine has the right to use tanks, armored vehicles, and other equipment transferred by Canada in the territory of russia.
This follows from a statement by the Ministry of National Defense of Canada, writes CBC News.
Canada handed Ukraine eight Leopard 2A4 tanks, several dozen armored combat support vehicles, hundreds of armored patrol cars, as well as several M-777 howitzers.
"Ukrainians know best how to defend their homeland, and we are committed to supporting their capability," said Andrée-Anne Poulin, spokesperson for the Canadian Ministry of Defense.
"Canada does not have any geographical restrictions on the use of military equipment that we transfer to Ukraine," she added.
It is not known whether Canadian weapons were in the hands of the Ukrainian brigades when they began their operation in the Kursk Oblast of the russian federation.
Meanwhile, footage shot by CNN on the Ukrainian border on Thursday showed a Canadian-made Senator patrol car crossing the border with russia.
Poulin noted that Canadian assistance always complies with the requirements of the Arms Trade Treaty, an international agreement designed to reduce illegal arms sales and human rights violations.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on August 15, The Guardian wrote that the Ukrainian military is likely to use British Challenger 2 tanks in operations in the Kursk Oblast.
Earlier, the British Ministry of Defense confirmed that Ukrainian troops can use British weapons on russian territory for self-defense - with one exception.
According to information from the Sky News channel, Ukrainian troops probably deployed British Challenger 2 tanks during the offensive on the territory of the Kursk Oblast.
Meanwhile, the United States is concerned about the use of its weapons by the Ukrainian military in the Kursk Oblast.
