EU mulls military training for Ukrainian forces: Borrell

BRUSSELS, 24 August 2022, (TON): The bloc’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said “the European Union will debate the launch of a major training operation for Ukrainian forces in nearby nations.”

The proposal will be discussed next week at a two-day meeting of EU defence ministers which gets underway in Prague on Monday, Borrell told a press conference in Santander, in northern Spain.

He added “I hope it will be approved.”

He said “of course it would be a big mission, I think it would be a big mission.”

He added “any mission has to be up to the level of the conflict.”

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, sparking the worst conflict in Europe in decades which has killed tens of thousands of civilians.
