On 8 November, the Council of the European Union adopted a decision extending the mandate of the European Union Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine (EUMAM Ukraine) for a further two years.
The budget allocation for the period from 14 November 2024 to 15 November 2026 will amount to almost €409 million.
Established in October 2022, EUMAM Ukraine remains a key tool for the EU’s military support to Ukraine, with its core objective of contributing to enhancing the military capacity of Ukraine’s Armed Forces (UAF).
EUMAM Ukraine has trained 63,000 UAF soldiers so far, the equivalent of ten brigades. The mission will train an additional 15,000 troops in the coming months, bringing the total number of soldiers trained to 75,000 by the end of winter 2024/2025.
In line with the newly taken decision, EUMAM Ukraine will also cooperate with NATO, in particular the NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU), and exchange information with the latter.
