Since the start of Operation UNIFIER in 2015, Canadian Armed Forces members have trained over 37,000 Ukrainian security personnel in battlefield tactics and advanced military skills.

Canadian instructors left Ukraine after Russia launched its invasion of the country in February 2022, but in a few months training was resumed in the United Kingdom, Poland and Latvia.
