The European Union has completed its initial goal to train 15,000 Ukrainian soldiers and will ready another 15,000 for combat by the end of 2023, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Monday, APA reports citing Sputnik.

"The European training mission has completed its initial goal of training 15,000 Ukrainian soldiers and we will train another 15,000 by the end of the year," he told a press conference in Brussels after the foreign ministers' meeting.

The EU pledged in February to train 30,000 Ukrainian soldiers by the end of this year, following an initial goal of 15,000.
