EU mission to train Ukrainian troops extended for two more years - Borrell

The European Union Training Mission (EUMAM), which provides training for the Ukrainian military, will be extended for another two years, stated EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell during a press conference after a meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council, reported from the RBC-Ukraine.

He noted that Ukrainian troops are currently under great pressure along the entire front line, which has become greater than before the beginning of summer.

"We have to continue providing the Ukrainian Armed Forces with more capacity and to increase our training mission. We will extend the mandate to the EUMAM mission for the next two years," Borrel said.

He added that he hopes for a consensus on this decision in the EU Council.
