The European Union is in favour of preparing Ukrainian troops in Ukraine itself in a possible ceasefire
The EU and its Member States are the largest formator of the Ukrainian Army and have so far trained more than 80,000 soldiers in the countries of the European Union.
At an informal meeting of European Union (EU) defence ministers in Copenhagen this Friday , Ukrainian soldiers have expressed "broad" support for the proposal to deploy the military training mission in that country, following a hypothetical ceasefire with Russiaas part of security guarantees for Kiev.
This has been assured by the head of European diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, at the end of themeeting, who has promised that the European Union will 'fully do its part' and defend an agreement conditional on the end of hostilities in order to 'buy time'.
Kallas has stressed that the EU and its Member States are the largest formator of the Ukrainian Army and that so far more than 80,000 soldiers have been trained in the countries of the European Union, 'and we must be prepared to do more'.
Ukraine has taken a large part in the meeting in Copenhagen, which took place following Russia's latest air strikes in Kiev , which left 23 dead , according to Ukrainian sources.
The Kremlin, however, denies attacking civilian infrastructureand claims that the target was Ukrainian airfields and military industry facilities, blaming Kiev's air defense.
The attack shows "Russia's deliberate determination to intensify the conflict and circumvent peace efforts , "Kallas has denounced, and has reported that the condemnation communiqué has been supported by all Member States except Hungary.
Kallas has called on Budapest to lift the veto to unblock the EUR 6 billion from the European Peace Protection Fund and to provide military aid to Ukraine, and has recalled that the EU and the Member States have given Kiev more than EUR 63 billion since 2022.
