Europe insists on preparing the Ukrainian military with a new mission

UE tropas ucranianas
Berlin, Oct 9 (Prensa Latina) The European Union (EU) announced today a mission to prepare 15,000 soldiers from Ukraine, amid Russia's complaints that this only prolongs the conflict in that neighboring country.

Last Wednesday, the high representative of the EU for Foreign Policy and International Security, Josep Borrell, reported that the project would be put into practice on the 17th, according to news reports.

According to the Welt am Sonntag newspaper, the European mission will have headquarters in Poland and this country, all despite Russia’s warnings that the increase in Ukraine’s war potential will only prolong the confrontation in that nation.

On February 24, President Vladimir Putin announced the start of a military operation to respond to requests from the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Lugansk to protect their population, as well as to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine.

kiev asked the West to train some 50,000 soldiers, while the United States, the United Kingdom, France and, to a lesser extent, Germany, supply it with weapons, including heavy weapons.

The Russian Defense Ministry has repeatedly warned that all weapons sent to Ukraine become a legitimate target for the armed forces of the Eurasian giant.

In addition, the Kremlin referred to the existence of Western military advisers among the ranks of the Ukrainian army, where they are often responsible for organizing operations against Russian troops.
