The coalition of volunteers begins exercises. Nearly 5,000 soldiers in Nowa Dęba

Military exercises are scheduled from November 9 to 22, involving nearly 5,000 soldiers, including foreign and Polish troops. NATO will be informed but will not participate directly. The exercises aim to test the alliance's ability to deploy troops in Ukraine post-war and demonstrate military credibility. They will focus on command systems and logistics rather than showcasing heavy weaponry. Poland was chosen as the host due to its experience in organizing military training, especially for Ukrainian forces. The coalition of willing nations, formed in January 2025, includes 37 countries, with participation from Canada, Japan, and Turkey.
