The European Union will deploy a military mission in Ukraine for the first time.
The Council of the European Union has announced plans to establish a military presence in Ukraine as part of the EUMAM Ukraine training mission. The corresponding decision was made during the extension of her work.
According to the announcement of the Council of the European Union, the representatives of the mission will directly coordinate the training of Ukrainian military personnel with the command of the armed forces of Ukraine and partner countries.
The number of the team planned to be stationed in Ukraine has not yet been provided.
The EUMAM Ukraine mission is operational from 2022. Until now, Brussels has stated that the training of Ukrainian military personnel in its framework is carried out exclusively on the territory of European countries.
