When EU foreign ministers gather in Luxembourg next month, they are expected to agree on a mission to train 15,000 Ukrainian soldiers as well as an additional 500 million euros ($48.7 million) in funding for military transfers to Kyiv.
Two senior EU officials said the military training would start in mid-November and take place on EU territory at one hub in Poland and another in Germany.
Previously, several EU countries have already been instructing Ukrainian troops on how to use specific weapons, which will continue.
The ministers are also expected to add a further 500 million euros to a fund that reimburses EU member states for arms delivered to Ukraine, bringing the total amount earmarked for arms for Kyiv to more than 3 billion euros.
