It is also in addition to the deployment of three Hercules transport planes to Scotland, where the aircraft are helping deliver supplies to Ukrainian forces battling Russia. The Department of National Defence says the engineers will be attached to a Polish-led training effort focused on teaching Ukrainian on how to use explosives, among other things.
Anand’s announcements comes days after an explosion damaged an important bridge connecting Russia and Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula, prompting Russian President Vladimir Putin to order missile strikes on several Ukrainian cities.
