KYIV, 15 February 2022, (TON): The Canadian government said “Canada is temporarily relocating some of its military personnel based in Ukraine to an undisclosed location in Europe ahead of an anticipated Russian invasion.”
The government said in a statement "as a result of the complex operational environment linked to Russia’s unwarranted aggression against Ukraine, the Canadian Armed Forces is in the process of temporarily relocating components of Joint Task Force – Ukraine (JTF-U) to elsewhere in Europe.”
It said “however, the move "does not signal the end of the mission.”
It added “it will allow Canada to refocus its efforts while ensuring the safety and security of the Canadian Armed Forces.”
It said "force protection is the top priority for our training mission, of which operational security is a key component.”
"Thus, while we can confirm we have relocated some of our forces outside of Ukraine, we will not discuss numbers, locations, or future intentions."
