For the first time, the European Union decided to organize the presence of its military mission to train the Ukrainian servicemen directly on the territory of Ukraine. This follows the statement of the Council of the European Union, RIA Novosti reports. "The council decided to ensure the presence of a mission in Ukraine," it was reported. The military mission will operate in cooperation with the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and international partners. The Russian side opposes the deployment of any Western forces on the territory of Ukraine and believes that NATO countries are directly involved in the conflict, doing so not only by supplying weapons to Ukraine, but also by training the Ukrainian army. Brussels previously claimed that it denies the transfer of the mission's activities to the territory of Ukraine, and the work was only carried out on the territory of the EU countries.
