لماذا يهمّ ذلك
The exercises are intended to test whether an alliance of 36 countries, led by France and the United Kingdom, can deploy its forces in Ukraine on the day fighting stops. They focus on practical multinational capabilities rather than a show of force: command, logistics, communications, troop and equipment movement, and drone warfare. The participation of Ukrainian troops and nine named European countries ties the drills directly to Ukraine’s defence needs. However, NATO will not participate directly and the United States is not taking part in the operation, while the scope of future security guarantees for Ukraine remains substantially uncertain.
ماذا حدث
The first full-scale Koalicja exercises of the coalition of the willing are scheduled to run in Nowa Dęba, in south-eastern Poland, from 9 to 22 November. Around 2,800 military personnel from 10 countries are expected to take part. France, the United Kingdom, Estonia, Lithuania, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Belgium and Ukraine are listed as participants. The drills are intended to assess the ability of an alliance involving 36 countries, led by France and the United Kingdom, to deploy in Ukraine on the day a ceasefire ends the war between Kyiv and Moscow. Particular attention is to be paid to command and logistics procedures, the movement of troops and equipment across Europe, interoperability of communications among multinational MNF-U forces and drone warfare. NATO has been informed of the exercises but will not take part directly. On 17 November, the NATO Contact Group on Ukraine’s defence is due to meet at the alliance’s Brussels headquarters in the Ramstein format.

Ukrainian coverage emphasizes the proposed deployment of multinational forces in Ukraine after a ceasefire, the participation of Ukrainian military personnel and the practical tasks involved: command, logistics, communications and drone warfare. It also links the exercises to Poland’s training of Ukrainian troops, the planned Berlin meeting on continued support and air-defence strengthening, and the forthcoming NATO Contact Group session on Ukraine’s defence.

Poland hosts several training centres for Ukrainian military personnel, including one operating under the European Union’s military support mission for Ukraine. It was selected to host the first exercises because of its experience organising military events and operating training centres. The coalition is led by France and the United Kingdom, while NATO has been informed but will not participate directly.
