The support to Ukraine is unwavering, and will continue as long as the Government of Canada tells us to continue that support, with approximately 200 Canadian Armed Forces personnel.
The training is focused on small arms training, explosive ordnance disposal, military policing, medical training, and modernizing logistics. So far, we have contributed over $16 million in non-lethal military equipment to Ukraine forces, with up to $7.25 million more to be delivered by the end of March. The estimated cost of the renewed mission is $57.75 million over two years. National Defence assumes $50.5 million of that money, and Global Affairs Canada $7.25 million. The Canadian Armed Forces joint task force in Ukraine has trained approximately 5,500 Ukrainian soldiers as of February 1, 2018.
