Canada has initiated legal proceedings to confiscate the Russian Antonov An-124 Ruslan cargo plane, which has been stranded in Toronto since February 2022. The country's Attorney General has filed a request with the Ontario Superior Court to formalize the seizure. Following the court's decision, the aircraft is expected to be handed over to Ukraine. The An-124 is one of the largest and heaviest cargo planes in operation, second only to the Antonov An-225 Mriya, which was destroyed by Russia early in the conflict. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Olha Stefanishyna confirmed the process has begun and emphasized that the plane will be used to support Ukraine, likely joining Antonov Airlines' fleet to facilitate aid deliveries.
