Ukrainian Defence Ministry hopes 30,000 military personnel will be trained in EU in 2023
The Defence Ministry of Ukraine reported that they expect to train 30,000 Ukrainian military in the EU this year – as reported by RIA Novosti
The department said, “In 2023, as part of the EU military assistance mission for Ukraine, it’s planned to train 30,000 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The training will take place on the territory of the EU member states.”
Earlier, Josep Borrell, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said that the EU countries had already trained 24,000 Ukrainian military; this figure will increase.
The level of training of Ukrainian soldiers in European countries is estimated to be very low. For example, the media recently reported high casualties among trainees in one of the Baltic States. Moreover, Belgium previously reported on the training of 700 Ukrainian soldiers. Most of the military was trained in Germany and Poland.
