It was revealed during the council’s meeting held in Brussels on 15 November.

The effort involves providing ‘individual, collective, and specialised’ military training to nearly 15,000 Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel. It will be delivered at several locations in different EU members states’ regions.

The council has also announced that it will allocate €16m of assistance for capacity building of the Ukrainian troops, under the European Peace Facility.

Both EUMAM and the 24-month-long assistance measure will finance EU member states to deliver ammunition, military equipment, and platforms to Ukraine. The funds are inclusive of the equipment’s transportation, maintenance, and repair.
