The Council of the European Union, as part of the decision to expand its military training mission to Ukraine (EUMAM Ukraine), announced for the first time its intention to ensure its presence in that country.
The community initiative for the training of the Ukrainian army was launched in 2022, and Brussels has so far always announced that all its activities take place in Europe.
On November 9, the organization extended the operation's mandate by two years, until November 15, 2028, expanded its powers and agreed on a budget of 300 million euros for the entire period.
