To ensure consistent support to Ukraine, the EU envisions the creation of a assistance fund for the country, with a volume of up to 5 billion euros annually for the period 2024-2027. This fund will be integrated into the European Peace Fund. According to Borrell, the agreement can be reached by the end of the year. He also mentioned that 25,000 Ukrainian military personnel have undergone training on European training grounds, and an additional 5,000 will complete their training by the end of October. Therefore, Borrell proposes to train an additional 10,000 soldiers in the coming months.
