Canadian special forces operators have been deployed to Ukraine amid rising tensions between the NATO military alliance and Russia, Global News has learned.

The deployment of a small contingent from the Canadian Special Operations Regiment comes as diplomatic talks aimed at staving off an armed conflict in Ukraine have faltered, and an estimated 100,000 Russian troops remain camped on Ukraine’s border. Sources told Global News that the Canadian special operations presence is part of an attempt by NATO allies to deter Russian aggression in Ukraine, and to identify ways to assist the Ukrainian government.

The unit has also been tasked with helping to develop evacuation plans for Canadian diplomatic personnel in the event of a full-scale invasion, sources said.

That should help to calm things down. I’m sure Putin will see it as an olive branch.

Canada has a huge Ukrainian population, so it has a lot of domestic interest in what happens over there.

Canada had Special Forces? Who knew. What, all 50 of them. No doubt got their training beating their own countrymen for not getting the jab.

I aint ever seen anything like it.

So determined to get into a full blown war with a major nuclear power.

The Man Child and his shi#ty pants partner that were president and VP prior to Trump are responsible for this whole thing.

Trudeau is an absolute moron.

Shining example of leadership and elites not giving a crap about the grunts

Not enough to sacrifice troops.

And I doubt you need a history lesson or explanation but most NATO countries don’t operate to full capacity without the US military being around, if for no other reason than logistics and support.

The EU/NWO will not rest until they goad Putin into war. So far he’s been smart enough not to take the bait. Would not surprise me to find out he’s in touch with Big T.

At that point any evac plan would be useless.

Read what they are tasked with, people. There only to get their people out.

They’re going in to help surrender. They will help evacuate diplomats, not fight.

Don’t forget the mask. They must have face diapers.

Why?

Is there any nation in the world afraid of Canada and their military?

This gives new meaning to “cannon fodder”.

When speaking of national interest, it is different than having a sense of curiosity. Is there any actual national interest of Canada in Ukraine?
