EU Extends Military Mission Mandate for Ukraine by Two Years
Published
The Council of the European Union has adopted a decision to extend the mandate of the European Union Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine (EUMAM Ukraine). The new decision covers two more years of the mission's work. The budget for this period is almost 300 million euros.
The EUMAM Ukraine mission helps Ukrainian military personnel receive training in European Union countries. It has been operating since 2022 and has already trained thousands of Ukrainian soldiers. The mission does not take part in combat operations on the territory of Ukraine.
Extending the mandate means that training programs for Ukrainian military personnel will continue to operate. This is important for preparing the military who are defending the country against Russian aggression. The Council of the EU once again confirmed its support for Ukraine.
The Council of the EU emphasized that assistance to Ukraine remains one of the Union's priorities. The detailed terms of the mission's operation and its further plans will be defined separately.
