Coalition of the Willing begins military exercises in Poland to prepare for possible postwar deployment to Ukraine
Russia warns any foreign forces in Ukraine would be treated as ‘legitimate targets’
Around 2,800 troops from European countries began military exercises in Poland on 9 November, the first exercise organised by the Coalition of the Willing, aimed at preparing for possible deployment to Ukraine after a potential peace deal with Russia. Russia condemned the manoeuvres, saying they show the West is ignoring its security concerns and fueling escalation.
