The first Coalition of the Willing military exercises with Ukraine's participation will commence in Poland on November 9, according to UATV English, citing Le Monde. The maneuvers will involve servicemembers from ten countries, including Ukraine, as they test the coalition's capability to swiftly deploy forces onto Ukrainian territory post-war.
Nearly 2,800 servicemembers from France, the United Kingdom, Estonia, Lithuania, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Belgium will take part. While the US and NATO have been briefed on the exercises, they will not participate directly. The primary objective is to evaluate the coalition's rapid deployment capabilities, with a focus on countering drone threats and refining command systems and logistics procedures for troop and equipment movement across European borders.
Poland's selection as the exercise site is strategic, given its expertise in organizing such maneuvers and its established training centers for Ukraine's Defense Forces, which have been operational on Polish soil since the onset of the full-scale war. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz recently invited Coalition of the Willing participants to Berlin for discussions on further supporting Ukraine.
