SUMMARY

The European Union approved its first military mission presence on Ukrainian soil Monday, despite repeated Russian warnings that European forces there would be fair game for strikes.

The EU Council extended its Ukraine training mission for two years, through Nov. 15, 2028, with nearly €300 million in new funding.

The mission, which has trained more than 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers only on EU soil since 2022, will set up a coordination cell in Kyiv.

The EU has also secured full funding to modernize two training centers inside Ukraine, as courses shift toward frontline combat lessons.
