Over 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers trained by EU since 2022

BRUSSELS, November 10. /TASS/. The European Union has trained more than 100,000 soldiers for the Ukrainian army since the beginning of the conflict and intends to expand their training, the European Council said. "EUMAM Ukraine is 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. The mission has trained more than 100,000 soldiers since it was established in October 2022 at Ukraine’s request," it stated. The Council earlier extended the mandate of the European Union Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine (EUMAM Ukraine) for two more years, until November 15, 2028. Russia Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated previously that the European Union is "recklessly, utterly senselessly, and thoughtlessly, yet actively, getting prepared for a war with Russia" and is driving itself further and further "into the trap of the insane, irrational demands of the voracious "Kiev food digger."
