EU extends Ukraine troop training mission through 2028
The Council of the European Union extended the mandate of its military training mission for Ukraine for two years, keeping the program active until November 15, 2028, with nearly €300 million in funding, according to a November 9 press release.
The European Union has decided to prolong its military training mission for Ukraine until November 15, 2028, as announced in a press release on November 9. This extension, approved by the Council of the European Union, will maintain the program's funding at nearly €300 million.
The EU has also broadened the scope of the mission, allowing its personnel to operate within Ukraine. This change enables direct coordination with Ukrainian military commanders on the ground. The program will place a significant emphasis on integrating real-world battlefield experiences directly into the training regimen.
The European Union Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine (EUMAM Ukraine) will maintain close collaboration with the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Norway. Additionally, EUMAM Ukraine will partner with the Coalition of the Willing and NATO under the NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU) command.
The mission, initiated in October 2022 at the request of Ukraine, has already trained over 100,000 Ukrainian service members.
