High Representative of the European Union for Foreign and Security Policy Josep Borrell
Ukrainian military personnel are trained in Europe. In particular, they learn to drive tanks.
The sending of troops by EU countries to Ukraine was not and is not on the agenda. This was announced on Sunday, February 5 by the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, in an interview with El Pais.
“We would have entered the war if we sent troops to Ukraine, but this is definitely not on the agenda and never has been,” he said.
At the same time, Borrell pointed to the participation of the European military in the training of Ukrainian military personnel and noted that they are now training tank crews.
“For tanks, you need to have trained crews. The training of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has already begun as part of the EU military mission in training camps in Poland and Germany. It’s not like learning to drive a car, it requires weeks of very specialized training,” he said.
Earlier it was reported that the EU training mission will train 30,000 recruits for the Ukrainian army.
The European Union is determined to continue to support Ukraine, in particular next year.
