Juno News - Canadian troops sent to Russian border

00:00:00.120 Canadian soldiers are moving toward Russia's border,

00:00:02.720 backed by tanks, armored vehicles,

00:00:04.880 and thousands of NATO troops.

00:00:07.000 And this is a significant escalation

00:00:09.000 in the scale of Canada's military operations

00:00:11.760 in Eastern Europe.

00:00:12.720 For the first time,

00:00:13.720 nearly the entire Canadian-led NATO brigade

00:00:16.360 stationed in Latvia is deploying east

00:00:18.800 toward the Russian and Belorussian borders.

00:00:21.360 It's part of a massive military exercise

00:00:23.700 called Resolute Reforger 2026.

00:00:26.200 The operation involves approximately 3,000 soldiers

00:00:29.600 from 14 NATO countries,

00:00:31.400 alongside roughly 1,000 vehicles and pieces of equipment.

00:00:35.160 Canada already has around 2,000 military personnel

00:00:38.260 stationed in Latvia

00:00:39.260 as part of its largest overseas military mission.

00:00:42.300 The exercise is designed to test NATO's ability

00:00:44.840 to move, supply, and command combat-ready forces

00:00:48.040 across Eastern Latvia.

00:00:49.540 Canadian troops have been stationed in Latvia since 2017,

00:00:53.040 but NATO's military posture is changing.

00:00:55.820 What began as a mission to deter Russian aggression

00:00:58.760 has increasingly become preparation to defend NATO territory if an actual conflict breaks

00:01:03.880 out. And tensions in the region are already high. Just Monday, Latvian authorities warned

00:01:09.320 civilians in two eastern regions to shelter following an airspace threat, prompting NATO

00:01:14.600 fighter jets to scramble. That alert was eventually lifted and there's no confirmed connection to the

00:01:19.740 exercise. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mark Carney has extended Canada's military commitment in the

00:01:25.260 region through 2031. And remember, under NATO's Article 5, an armed attack against one member

00:01:32.080 creates an obligation for other members, including Canada, to assist. That doesn't automatically mean

00:01:38.000 we're going to war, but it does demonstrate just how serious these commitments are. Now, like I

00:01:43.180 said, this is a planned military exercise and not a declaration of war, but with Canadian soldiers

00:01:48.120 training closer to Russia's border, the potential consequences of a military confrontation deserve

00:01:53.040 serious attention. Canadians should understand what we're committing to, what the risks are,

00:01:57.740 and what happens if tensions escalate. For Juno News, I'm Ty Sylvester.
