Canada currently has 900 soldiers “at sea, land and in the air” who support the NATO mission in this context of political instability.
Canada displaced on Sunday its military troops in western Ukraine and announced the temporary repatriation of non-essential employees from its embassy in Kiev, due to tensions on the Russian-Ukrainian border.
“Our Canadian armed forces have moved west of the Dnieper River and we will continue taking all precautions necessary to guarantee their safety,” said Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand on Sunday upon arrival in Ukrainian territory.
The minister took stock of the tense situation between Ukraine and Russia during a press conference in Kiev, after meeting with the leaders of the Canadian military operation Unifier, which provides support to the Ukrainian security forces.
“The intelligence we use agrees with that of our NATO allies, about the fact – widely known – that there is Russian aggression on the Ukrainian border in Belarus,” Anand said, once again putting Russia on notice that it will face “severe sanctions and consequences” if there is no de-escalation of tensions.
