The Ukrainians are learning at a very fast pace,
and we need to learn from them. We are training
Ukrainians, but we're leveraging their lessons and
insights. I think this is important, that the learning
is not one-sided. You're seeing both sides of that
conflict learning rapidly.

ward Land Forces and our Canadian-led
Multinational Brigade group, trying to
incorporate those lessons, turn them as
quick as we can. We're learning with our
Ukrainian partners so that our brigade and
Latvia is prepared as it can be to defend –
if necessary - against Russian aggression in
the Baltics. So that's ongoing.
Last fall we moved [our] armour for-
ward and, as we speak, we have ships go-
ing across the ocean with more armoured
fighting vehicles and containers to prepare
to be able to stand up the Canadian Multi-
national Brigade in the summer timeframe.
That's all going as scheduled, but that's
probably the next discussion we can have.
How's that going? Where that's going to
go? Again, it's drawing from what we're
talking about in the Joint Operation Sym-
posium over the last number of years as we
absorb those lessons and try and move for-
ward to make sure that the entire defence
team is trying to learn as much as we can so
that we can be prepared.
