Canada will join a training mission to help Ukraine's military in its struggle against Russian-backed rebels, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Tuesday, following months of requests for assistance from Ukraine's government.
Starting this summer, roughly 200 troops will be deployed, until March, 2017, to help develop and deliver training for Ukrainian forces personnel.
...Canada's British and American allies are already conducting training missions in Ukraine.
The U.S. has deployed 800 troops to train three — possibly four — battalions in western Ukraine, and the British recently sent 75 soldiers to give instruction in command procedures, tactical intelligence and battlefield first aid.
Canada will only be dealing with recognized Ukrainian government forces and not the kind of ad hoc militias that emerged earlier in the conflict, Kenney said.

Dmytro Yarosh, who is an adviser to Ukraine's army chief of staff, claimed responsibility for the horrendous #Odessa massacre. #Ukraine
