Ottawa-Sana
The Canadian Ministry of Defense announced that it has decided to temporarily transfer part of its military staff stationed in Ukraine to other places in Europe due to the crisis situation in the region.
"This temporary transfer of personnel from its division tasked with training the Ukrainian army does not mean the end of the Canadian military's mission but allows Canada to refocus its efforts while ensuring the safety of Canadian Armed Forces personnel," the ministry said in a statement.
It is noteworthy that about 200 Canadian soldiers have been deployed in Ukraine since 2015 as part of a mission aimed at contributing to the training of Ukrainian forces. Yesterday, Canada announced the temporary closure of its embassy in Kiev and the transfer of its operations to an office in Lviv, in the west of the country.
