This was announced on October 11 by Anita Anand, Canadian Defense Minister, at a press conference in Warsaw, writes Reuters. The training of the Ukrainian military will take place within the framework of Canada's commitment to increase military assistance to Ukraine. "In the coming weeks, Canada will deploy approximately 40 combat engineers to Poland to help Polish Forces train Ukrainian sappers on engineer reconnaissance, explosives, mining, and de-mining," Anita Anand said.
The Minister added that these instructors are an addition to the Canadian training mission for the Ukrainian military in the United Kingdom and the training program from the Canadian military for the Ukrainian gunners to use M777 howitzers, which Canada provided to Ukraine.

Last month, it was reported that Canada would increase the capacity of its key transport hub in Scotland. This is necessary to accelerate the delivery of military equipment and weapons to Ukraine and other Eastern European countries. To do this, Canada's Department of Defense relocated the third military S-130 transport aircraft to an airfield in the Scotland town of Prestwick, where the Canadian Air Force contingent is based.

Crews and ground support personnel also arrived in Scotland along with an additional aircraft. They are sustaining the ongoing efforts to supply Ukraine with weapons and ammunition.
