This was announced by the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, before the meeting of the Foreign Affairs Council. The statement was published on the website of the European External Relations Service.
"Today, an important decision is the launch of the training mission (on military assistance) of the Ukrainian army (EUMAM). As you know, we discussed it and made a decision in record time. The mission will be launched and will work in a few weeks," said the head of EU diplomacy . .
As Borrel said, the mission will be located in Poland and involves the training of about 15,000 soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He added that there are many countries willing to participate in this training mission.
The head of EU diplomacy called for continued military support for Ukraine and pressure on Russia.
"We will discuss the volume of our military support, which is greater than some news reports. I think it is very important to put the correct numbers on the table. Of course, the military support of the European Union and the member states is quite important," he concluded.
