The Government has approved training engagement with the EU Military Assistance Mission in Ukraine.

Up to 30 Defence Forces personnel will be involved in strengthening the capacity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

They will be involved in counter improvised explosive devices training, explosive ordnance disposal training, combat medical training, and engineering training.

Tánaiste Micheál Martin says it is a "signal of Ireland's unwavering support for and solidarity with Ukraine."
