COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -European Union defence ministers expressed "broad support" for expanding the bloc's military training mission to operate inside Ukraine as part of security guarantees in the event of a ceasefire, EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas said on Friday.

Kallas said the ministers had discussed the EU's role in security guarantees for Ukraine at a meeting in the Danish capital Copenhagen and that "Europe will fully pay its part".
