Soldiers from 11 coalition countries willing to train in Poland. Exercises already in November

Nearly 3,000 soldiers from 11 coalition countries will participate in military exercises in Poland from November 9 to 22, aimed at assessing readiness to support Ukraine post-war. The exercises, named Coalition 26.2, will be led by France and the UK, focusing on rapid deployment capabilities across land, sea, and air. Poland will host the exercises, managing troop movements but not sending its own soldiers to Ukraine. Participating nations include Belgium, Estonia, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Turkey, and the UK. The multinational forces aim to ensure long-term stability and security in Ukraine, with tasks including training Ukrainian soldiers and supporting military capacity rebuilding.
