Over 52,000 Ukrainian troops have been trained under the European Union Military Assistance Mission (EUMAM), local media reported on Friday.
According to the country’s defence ministry, Ukrainian soldiers, sergeants, and officers have participated in the training programme.
Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Oleksandr Balanutsa urged the EU to extend the training mission as the Ukrainian army is forming new brigades.
The two-year EUMAM was launched on November 15, 2022.
The mission, which is conducted on EU soil, includes training on demining, medical assistance, maintenance, and repair, among other things.
