Nearly €300 million will be allocated to ensure the continued operation of the EU Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine (EUMAM Ukraine).

Following a strategic review, the EU will also strengthen direct coordination with the Ukrainian military and international partners, CE Report quotes STA.

Greater emphasis will be placed on battlefield experience and adapting training programmes to the actual needs of Ukrainian forces.
