JTF2, Joint Task Force 2 is Canada’s Special Forces. Although it is a small contingent of our best soldiers, they are in Ukraine now to provide additional support to the Ukraine army.

In fact, our soldiers have been training the Ukrainian army in the art of war since 2020.

-from the article:

The Canadian Special Operations Forces Command) is part of the broader Armed Forces’ efforts to support Ukraine’s Security Forces,” wrote Maj. Amber Bineau, a spokesperson for special operations command, in a statement to Global News.

Bineau noted that Canadian special forces have been providing training, as well as “instructor and leadership expertise,” to Ukrainian counterparts since 2020 — although sources told Global News the latest special forces contingent, which left for Ukraine around Jan. 9, is not conducting training.

The unit has also been tasked with helping to develop evacuation plans for Canadian diplomatic personnel in the event of a full-scale invasion, sources said.

Small correction, but it is CSOR units that are deployed to Ukraine not JTF2.
