EUAM Ukraine has field offices in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa and a Mobile Unit. Due to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, the Mission’s field offices in Kharkiv and Mariupol are temporarily non-operational. EUAM Ukraine’s team of around 300 international and Ukrainian mission members works to implement EUAM Ukraine’s mandate.

EUAM Ukraine’s mandate is implemented through three lines of operation:

  • Strategic advice on civilian security sector reform, in particular, to develop strategic documents and legislation;
  • Support for the implementation of reforms through the delivery of practical advice, training, projects, and equipment donations;
  • Cooperation and coordination to ensure coherence of reform efforts between Ukrainian and international actors.
