Canada sends off Ukrainian sappers to battlefield

War in Ukraine

The Canadian Armed Forces have shared how their servicemen bid farewell to Ukrainian defenders after completing a training course.

The video was posted on the social media page of Canada’s training mission UNIFIER on platform X, CE Report quotes Ukrinform.

“We honour and salute the courage of AFU members who return to the fight as Professional Sappers to defend their sovereignty on the battlefield. Our bond is strong, as Operation UNIFIER stands with Ukraine,” the post accompanying the video says.

As a reminder: within the framework of Operation UNIFIER, Canadian servicemen have trained more than 46,000 Ukrainian troops since 2015. After the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Canadian instructors left Ukraine, but training resumed months later in the United Kingdom, Poland, and Latvia.
