EU ministers look to set up central military training for Ukraine

Senior European Union ministers are meeting in the Czech Republic, with defence ministers set to discuss setting up a centralised military training mission for Ukraine.

Individual members have been training Ukrainian troops for a while, mostly in operating new weapons, but the EU’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has said he hopes more “high-level training” can be offered.

He said a central training system would allow EU members to be “more predictable and to provide stronger support” to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, EU foreign ministers are also set to meet this week, with a debate introducing visa restrictions on Russian citizens expected to dominate discussions.

EU members are set to continue discussions in the Czech capital Prague on Wednesday.
