The news is more evidence of a historic movement by people here to join the armed forces of another nation, and potentially risk their lives in combat against Russian invaders.
The 550 would-be fighters that have arrived from Canada so far are part of a battalion based in Kyiv, said the representative of the International Legion for the Territorial Defence of Ukraine, who asked not to be identified for security reasons.
It is called simply the Canadian Ukrainian Brigade and has its own arm patch, featuring a maple leaf with a trident – Ukraine’s national symbol – superimposed on top.
