Europe will practice sending troops to Ukraine, writes Euronews Ten European countries are sending 2,800 troops to the first coalition exercise in Poland. Formations without heavy tanks and US participation will be deployed near the border. "The exercise will test the speed and efficiency with which many countries can deploy forces on land, at sea and in the air to support Ukraine after the end of the fighting." - said the French Ministry of Defense in a statement. The French and British leadership emphasizes that this group is not offensive and is not part of NATO structures. The organizers want to practice monitoring "compliance with the ceasefire" in Ukraine, which, however, is not yet on the horizon.
