The EUMAM Ukraine is made of total 44 western countries and is aimed at strengthening the capacity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to defend Ukraine’s territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders and to deter and respond to possible future military offensives by Russia and other potential aggressors.
All mission activities are located on EU soil. So far, 24 EU Member States have offered training modules and personnel. The training is supported by the provision of equipment for lethal and non-lethal purposes to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This equipment is provided by Member States and funded by the European Peace Facility.
During the parliamentary debate, Montenegro’s Defence Minister Dragan Krapovic said that he personally will be against sending Montenegrin soldiers to Ukrainian sold, if such a request would be made in the future.
“There is a possibility to go in Ukraine. There is a possibility by Europe, but I will not allow it. I am against Montenegro soldiers pass Ukrainian border,” he said.
