On November 10, 2026, the European Union Council decided to extend the mandate of the EU Military Assistance Mission to Ukraine (EUMAM Ukraine) for two years, until November 15, 2028. This decision marks a significant step in supporting Ukraine amid the ongoing war.
Funding for the Mission
For the implementation of the military assistance program to Ukraine over the next two years, nearly 300 million euros have been allocated. These funds will be used for the training of Ukrainian servicemen, as well as for the provision of necessary equipment and resources.
Expansion of the Mission's Mandate
In addition to extending the duration, the EU Council also decided to expand the mission's mandate. Now, during the training of servicemen, the combat experience gained by Ukraine during the full-scale war will be taken into account. This will allow for more effective adaptation of training programs to the real conditions faced by the Ukrainian military.
Cooperation with Ukrainian Military Leadership
The EUMAM Ukraine representation in Ukraine will coordinate its activities directly with the Ukrainian military leadership and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This will ensure close cooperation between European partners and the Ukrainian military, which is critical for the successful implementation of the mission.
