The Council of the European Union decided to send a mission to train Ukrainian military personnel to the territory of Ukraine for the first time, the statement said.
It should be noted that on November 9, the Council decided to extend the mandate of the EU Delegation for Military Assistance to Ukraine (EUMAM Ukraine) for another two years - until November 15, 2028. Almost 300 million euros are allocated for the period of this mission.
Also added to the mission's mandate were tasks related to analyzing "lessons" learned from combat operations, as well as strengthening military training in support of Ukraine's goals. The mission will continue to coordinate with other international partners, including the US, UK, Canada and Norway. EUMAM will also cooperate with the Coalition of the Will and NATO in the field of security and military training (NSATU).
Russia opposes the deployment of NATO military countries in Ukraine.
