    of 27 November 2023

    amending Decision (CFSP) 2023/231 on an assistance measure under the European Peace Facility to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces trained by the European Union Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine

    THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

    Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 28(1) and Article 41(2) thereof,

    Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,

    Whereas:

    (1)

    On 2 February 2023, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2023/231 (1), which established an assistance measure to support the capacity building of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the European Union Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine (EUMAM Ukraine) to defend the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine as well as to protect the civilian population against the ongoing military aggression.

    (2)

    In its conclusions of 29 June 2023, the European Council reconfirmed the Union’s readiness to continue providing sustainable military support to Ukraine for as long as it takes, notably through EUMAM Ukraine and the European Peace Facility.

    (3)

    In a letter dated 23 August 2023, the Ukrainian authorities acknowledged the contribution provided by EUMAM Ukraine and requested an extension of EUMAM Ukraine training to the National Guard, the State Border Service, the National Police and the Security Service of Ukraine, for those units under the operational control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

    (4)

    In that context, the assistance measure established by Decision (CFSP) 2023/231 should continue supporting EUMAM Ukraine training efforts and, therefore, the financial reference amount should be increased by an additional EUR 10 000 000 and its duration extended to 60 months,
