Canada has sent a small contingent of special forces to Ukraine to support the Kiev government and help curb Russian aggression, according to kresy24.pl.
Earlier, British Defense Secretary Ben Wolless announced that a small contingent of British soldiers would be sent to Ukraine to help train the soldiers.
The presence of Canadian special operations troops in Ukraine is part of NATO’s Allied efforts to curb Russian aggression and identify ways to help the Kiev government, according to Global News.
The unit’s responsibilities also include developing evacuation plans for Canadian diplomatic personnel in the event of a large-scale invasion, according to the Canadian media.
For several weeks, tensions over the concentration of Russian troops on Ukraine’s borders have subsided, raising concerns about another Russian invasion in Kiev and the West.
Russia denies allegations of an invasion of Ukraine by its troops. According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Moscow is taking a defensive stance because of fears that Kiev is getting too close to NATO.
At a video summit on December 7, US President Joe Biden warned Putin that the United States would impose unprecedented sanctions on Russia if it attacked Ukraine.
