Herve Blejean, will initially run for two years with a budget of almost \u20ac107 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EU headquarters said in a statement that the mission\u2019s aim is to allow the Ukrainian armed forces to \u201ceffectively conduct military operations\u201d so that Ukraine can \u201cdefend its territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders, effectively exercise its sovereignty and protect civilians.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It said the EU will provide \u201cindividual, collective and specialized training.\u201d Countries that aren\u2019t part of the bloc will be allowed to take part in the training effort. The aim initially is to train about 15,000 Ukrainian troops, chiefly in Poland <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/news\/your-army\/2022\/10\/03\/us-may-establish-new-command-in-germany-to-arm-ukraine-report\/\" target=\"_blank\">and Germany<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s hoped the mission will be up and running by mid-November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several EU and NATO nations are already training Ukraine\u2019s armed forces on a bilateral basis. Asked what added value the Brussels-based mission would bring, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Monday he\u2019s \u201cstrongly convinced that putting together the capacities of the European armies, we can offer a much better product.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NATO started training military instructors in Ukraine after Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula in 2014. The military alliance believes that training the trainers is the most effective way of helping Ukraine\u2019s forces, as it doesn\u2019t require troops needed for battle to leave the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EU also approved a sixth tranche of money, worth \u20ac500 million, from the European Peace Facility \u2014 a fund used to reimburse member countries that provide weapons, ammunition and nonlethal military support to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About \u20ac10 million from that sum will be used to provide equipment and supplies, like personal protection gear, first-aid kits and fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It brings the total EU sum in security support made available for Ukraine to more than \u20ac3 billion. Individual countries are spending more on top of that. The decisions will come almost eight months after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">Russia launched its invasion of
