Ukrainian community thanks Canadian soldiers for supporting Ukraine

The Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) has thanked the Canadian servicepersons participating in the UNIFIER mission in Ukraine.

The UCC stated this in its address on the occasion of the Remembrance Day, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

“As Ukrainian Canadians, we pay tribute to the soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who today bravely defend their country’s freedom from a foreign aggressor. We thank the 200 Canadian soldiers training their Ukrainian allies in Operation UNIFIER,” reads the statement.

The Ukrainian Canadian Congress also recalled that “every day, Ukraine’s finest sons and daughters fight and die so that Ukraine may be free. Their courageous struggle is a reminder to us all, that too often and at great cost, liberty must be defended. With God’s Help, they will be victorious.”

November 11, 2018 marked 100 years since the end of the First World War.
