The European Union has extended its military training mission to Ukraine, EUMAM Ukraine, until 15 November 2028.

The European Union will allocate almost 300 million euros for its operation during this period. The Council of the European Union also decided to open a mission office in Ukraine.

It will coordinate work directly with the military leadership of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and international partners.

The mission mandate has also been expanded: it will now focus more on integrating Ukraine's combat experience and improving military training in line with Ukraine's defense needs.

The European Union established the mission on October 17, 2022, at the request of Ukraine. It trains Ukrainian military personnel on the territory of the EU countries and coordinates the work of the member states in this area.
