The EU Council extended the training mission for the Ukrainian Armed Forces until 2028, expanded its mandate and provided significant funding from the European Peace Facility.
The Council of the European Union has officially approved the extension of the mandate for the EU Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine (EUMAM Ukraine) for a further two years. A budget of nearly 300 million euros has been allocated to ensure the structure's operations during this period. The relevant information was published on the official portal of the EU Council.
Following a strategic review of the mission, the EU Council decided to open its representative office on the territory of Ukraine. This office will coordinate work directly with the Ukrainian military leadership, the Armed Forces, and international partners. The EUMAM Ukraine mandate has been expanded taking into account Ukraine's combat experience. The main focus will now be on improving training programmes in line with the specific needs of national defence.
The mission will maintain its partnership with the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Norway, and other countries. In addition, EUMAM Ukraine will coordinate actions with the Coalition of the Willing and NATO member states within the framework of the NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU) command.
The EUMAM Ukraine structure was established on 17 October 2022. Its key strategic objective is to strengthen the military potential of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to ensure Ukraine's ability to defend its territorial integrity within internationally recognised borders, sovereignty, and civilian population from Russian aggression.
Under the programme, Ukrainian servicemen undergo individual, collective, and specialised training on the territory of EU member states. The mission is also responsible for coordinating training processes conducted by member states and providing them with the necessary lethal and non-lethal equipment. Funding for all these measures is provided through the European Peace Facility.
As noted, EUMAM (EU Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine) is an EU training mission established in 2022 to train Ukrainian servicemen. In 2024, the mission's mandate was already extended for two years. At that time, it was reported that the mission had already trained 63,000 Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers, with plans to train a further 15,000 military personnel in the coming months.
