The Defence Minister’s comments line up with some assessments by Western military analysts, who believe that any Russian attack could focus on capturing the territory east of the Dnieper

Defence Minister Anita Anand says Canadian troops stationed in Ukraine have been moved west of the country’s Dnieper River as worries about a possible Russian invasion continue to grow.

Operation Unifier is a 200-soldier Canadian training mission that is tasked with training the Ukrainian military since 2015, shortly after Russia seized and annexed the Crimean Peninsula. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced last week that the mission would be extended and expanded – with another 60 soldiers expected to arrive in the days and weeks ahead – amid rising concern that Russian President Vladimir Putin could soon order a deeper invasion of Ukraine.

I don't believe Russia is moving in. This is all bark no bite, let people in in peace

it might be time for nato to back off, Ukraine to stand down and Russia to move in and help the beleaguered separatists. Peace ☮️ needs a chance.

Lol what in the fuck is Canada going to do... Man this lady is painful to look at

Hey, shout out to Canada about geography. Where those Canadian troops are is...right on Russia's border, thousands of miles from Canada. Russia IS NOT invading. CANADA IS INVADING! Because it's the US's step-n-fetchit.
