Coalition of the willing: German staff officers and tanker aircraft for Ukraine exercise
Ukraine's allies are building a force to secure a possible ceasefire with Russia. In November, it will train for the first time - with German participation.
The German military, known as the Bundeswehr, will participate in the first military exercise of the "Coalition of the Willing" to support Ukraine, with around ten staff officers, tanker aircraft, and logistics. The exercise, called "Koalicja 2026", will take place in November in Poland, in Romanian airspace, and in the western Black Sea.
The coalition, made up of around 35 countries, aims to test the operational capability of a multinational force led by France and the UK. The Bundeswehr will provide up to two A400M transport aircraft for air refueling and logistical support for the exercise.
