  1. EU Extends EUMAM Mission to 2028 and Establishes Presence in Ukraine

    The European Union has extended the mandate of the EU Military Assistance Mission for Ukraine to 2028 and allocated nearly 300 million euros in funding. In a historic move, the mission is establishing a military presence inside Ukraine to coordinate training operations directly on Ukrainian soil. This development comes as the broader EU training program reaches the landmark milestone of 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers trained.

    Why it matters

    The European Union training mission has operated outside Ukraine since its inception, preparing troops across various member states. Extending the mandate through 2028 secures long-term defensive backing from the bloc. Shifting a coordination presence directly into Ukraine marks a structural evolution in how the military support is delivered.
