The Canadian-Ukrainian Brigade (Ukrainian: Канадсько-українська бригада, romanized: Kanadśko-ukrajinśka bryhada) is a unit belonging to the International Legion of Territorial Defence of Ukraine which was formed in early 2022. The brigade is formed from individuals that are Ukrainian Combat Veterans or have been providing aid and training to Ukraine since the war in Donbas. These individuals came together under the umbrella of the brigade to set up a network spanning over Canada, Germany, Poland, and Ukraine. It is notable that the brigade consists of ex-Canadian servicemen and fresh volunteers.[1]
