France, Poland continue training Ukrainian troops under EUMAM Ukraine mission

France and Poland are continuing to train Ukrainian troops through the European Union Mission to Provide Military Assistance to Ukraine (EUMAM Ukraine). Instructors from the French Armed Forces are guiding the intensive program in Poland, focusing on weapon proficiency and tactical techniques. The training aims to simulate battlefield conditions as closely as possible.

The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces highlighted that the mission is crucial for bolstering the Ukrainian army's ability to protect its territorial integrity and deter potential aggression from Russia. This initiative involves 24 EU member states, with each contributing training modules and personnel. The efforts are also backed by the provision of lethal and non-lethal equipment via the European Peace Facility.

Ukraine, as an equal partner, benefits from the combat experience of its Defense Forces, enhancing the collective security of the Euro-Atlantic region. All activities are confined to the European Union's territory.
