So much easier if you just ask "How will this benefit Russia?" Not knowing much, probably something to do with arms, grains and oil.

"Since February 2022, Canada has committed over $19.5 billion in total assistance to Ukraine, including $4.5 billion in military assistance. This includes Leopard 2 main battle tanks, armoured combat support vehicles, anti-tank weapons, small arms, M777 howitzers and associated ammunition" They'll be trying to put a stop to that.
