Shmyhal said in an interview with Canada’s Globe and Mail that he intends to seek supplies of ammunition and armoured vehicles for a counteroffensive against Russian forces during the visit. 

Shmyhal said he hopes the country would provide more aid among other forms of assistance.

Ukraine is  expected to launch a counter-offensive to seize back land in the south and east of the country from Russian forces in the coming weeks or months.
