The Defence Forces personnel are part of the newly established EU Military Assistance Mission in Ukraine.
The EUMAM was created to strengthen the capacity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and to deter and respond to possible future military offensives by Russia.
Former Defence Forces Sergeant and serving Senator Gerard Craughwell said they will facilitate a variety of training activities.“We’re training their bomb disposal people, so they will be able to clear a minefield - which unfortunately is a feature of the war in Ukraine,” he told“And we’re also training combat medics to look after people who are injured in the course of war.
It follows Cabinet approval in February of the participation of up to 30 Permanent Defence Forces personnel to the newly established EUMAM in support of Ukraine. Main image: An Irish Defence Forces arm patch of a soldier. Picture by: Andy Gibson / Alamy Stock Photo
