Ukraine’s training facilities get boost: EU is funding centers where its army prepares soldiers, with Denmark putting in €33 million
Several training centers inside Ukraine will be upgraded.
The European Union has announced it will invest in Ukraine's military training facilities, with Denmark leading the funding effort. The EU will allocate €33 million to modernize several military training centers in Ukraine, focusing on improving living conditions, facilities, and equipment for soldiers-in-training. The project, which involves the European External Action Service, the Military Planning and Conduct Capability, and the EU's military-assistance mission for Ukraine, is being carried out by the Come Back Alive foundation alongside the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.
Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Liubov Halan emphasized the importance of training as a foundation for preparing soldiers, noting that modernized centers will allow for more realistic combat training. She praised the EU and all partner countries for their contributions, emphasizing that training is as crucial to defense as ammunition and equipment.
The Ministry of Defense from both Ukraine and Denmark signed a Letter of Intent to implement the modernization project. Denmark, administering the funds, expressed gratitude for the EU and Come Back Alive's support, which will ultimately enhance Ukraine's training standards, speed, and proximity to the front lines.
