The European Union ambassadors have extended the EU military training mission for training Ukrainian soldiers. It will continue for another two years, according to Radio Liberty journalist Rikard Jozwiak on Twitter (X).
The journalist noted that this decision will allow the continued training of Ukrainian soldiers, which takes place across 24 participating countries of the mission.
Over the past two years, around 70,000 Ukrainian service members have completed training under this program, marking a significant EU contribution to supporting Ukraine’s defense capabilities.

In 2022, the European Union Military Assistance Mission for Ukrainian Armed Forces (EUMAM Ukraine) reached full operational capacity. Initially, the mission’s mandate was set for two years, with a budget of €3.1 billion.
Under this program, training for Ukrainian military personnel is conducted in various participating countries. Since the launch of EUMAM Ukraine in October 2022, more than 34,000 Ukrainian soldiers have completed training.
