EU preparing to establish a new military training base in Ukraine

A military training base of the European Union may soon be established in Ukraine, reports the German newspaper Welt, citing internal documents of the European External Action Service (EEAS).

The base will provide military training for Ukrainian military personnel amid Russia’s “ongoing escalation” on Ukrainian borders.

In August, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia had amassed a combat-ready military group of about 100,000 troops near Ukraine.
