A passionate Ukrainian soldier hopes the skills he's learning from Canadian troops and their allies will ultimately help make a difference in winning the war with Russia.
About 100 Ukrainian soldiers are being trained at a secret location in southwestern Poland. Canadian military arranged for The Canadian Press to visit the camp.
There are a variety of courses going on. One involves detecting mines first using a metal detector then lying prone and digging carefully into the dirt.Every 15 minutes or so, there's a loud bang. A puff of smoke floats into the air as Polish soldiers provide instructions. "We need to demine territory for offence," he says. "As well, we need to demine de-occupied territory, because 80 per cent of victims from mines are civilian."
"They're here for a reason. A lot of them are from the front lines. They know how valuable this engineering training is and we see it everyday in their enthusiasm."
