The EU extended the military training mission for the Armed Forces of Ukraine for another two years and allocated almost 300 million euros for its work
The Council of the European Union has extended the mandate of the military assistance mission to Ukraine, EUMAM Ukraine, for another two years. Almost 300 million euros have been allocated for its work during this period.
This is reported on the website of the Council of the EU.
Following a strategic review of the mission, the EU Council also decided to open a representation of it in Ukraine. It will coordinate activities directly with Ukrainian military leadership, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and international partners.
The mandate of EUMAM Ukraine was expanded taking into account Ukraine’s combat experience. Going forward, the mission will focus more on improving military training in line with the needs of Ukrainian defense.
EUMAM Ukraine will continue cooperation with the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Norway, and other partners. The mission will also coordinate activities with the Coalition of the Willing and NATO countries within NATO’s Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine command (NSATU).
The EUMAM Ukraine mission was established on 17 October 2022. Its strategic objective is to strengthen the military capacity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine so that Ukraine can defend its territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders, its sovereignty, and its civilian population from Russian aggression.
Within the mission, Ukrainian servicemen and servicewomen receive individual, collective, and specialized training on the territory of EU countries. The mission also coordinates training carried out by member states and provides it with lethal and non-lethal equipment.
EUMAM Ukraine is financed through the European Peace Facility.
EUMAM (EU Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine) is an EU training mission established in 2022 to train Ukrainian servicemen and servicewomen. Its mandate was already extended for two years in 2024. At that time it was reported that the mission had already trained 63 000 soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and would train an additional 15 000 in the coming months.
