With support from the European Union, funding will be provided to modernise several military training sites in Ukraine.

The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine reported.

The project will be implemented under the auspices of the European External Action Service (EEAS), the Military Planning and Conduct Capability (MPCC), and the EU Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine (EUMAM Ukraine).

Planned measures include:

  • improving living conditions;
  • developing infrastructure to provide comfortable conditions;
  • upgrading existing facilities.

The ‘Come Back Alive’ Charitable Foundation will be responsible for implementing the project in close cooperation with the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.

The main focus will be on developing infrastructure at Armed Forces of Ukraine training centres in Ukraine. The aim is to create a modern training environment and the conditions necessary for high-quality training of service personnel.

«Modernised centres make it possible to train service personnel based on real combat experience. We thank the European Union and every partner country that has joined or will join this effort», Liubov Halan, Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine said.

According to Liubov Halan, training in Ukraine is as fundamental to defence as ammunition and equipment because weapons do not work without trained personnel.
