There is "broad support" among member states to extend the EU's mission to train Ukrainian soldiers to sites in the war-torn country following a ceasefire, Kaja Kallas said on Friday.
The EU's high representative told reporters after a meeting of the bloc's defence ministers in Copenhagen, Denmark, that she "welcome(s)" this broad support to extend the mandate of the EU Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine (EUMAM Ukraine). Some 80,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been trained in various sites across Europe by EU armed forces since it was launched in November 2022.
