Canada to Send Trainers to UK to Teach Ukrainian Forces
Canada sent a military coach to Britain to teach Ukraine how to fight Russian troops who attacked, Defense Minister Anita Anand said Wednesday.
Up to 225 members of the Canadian Armed Forces will eventually be based in the UK for the initial period of four months, said Anand. They will work with colleagues from Britain, the Netherlands and New Zealand in training Ukraine forces on the basis of soldiers.

This is a moment of all hands in the deck for allies and partners who support Ukraine, “Anand said in an telephone interview with the Associated Press.
The previous Canadian military training mission based in Ukraine was suspended only a few weeks before the invasion began.
The mission, which also included 225 Canadian military coaches, was launched in 2014 after Moscow annexed the Crimean Peninsula and began to support the pro-Russian separatist in East Ukraine.
The Federal government said the mission, known as Operation Unifier, helped train more than 30,000 Ukrainian troops before all Canadian soldiers were withdrawn before Russian attacks.
Around 90 Canadian soldiers will head to England on August 12.Ukraine wants more troops and weapons,” Anand said. “This will help their new recruitment training.”Canada has contributed more than $ 600 million Canada (US466 million) in equipment and weapons.
