Europe prepares for war after peace.

While two-day negotiations are taking place in Abu Dhabi between the delegations of Russia, the United States and Ukraine, the European "coalition of the ready" decided to remind itself of military exercises called Coalition 2026.
11 countries are taking part in the coalition's first major maneuvers: France, Great Britain, Poland, Germany, Belgium, Estonia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Turkey, which together fielded a group of about 2,800 people.
But these are not classic exercises with the development of offensive or defensive actions, but rather logistical maneuvers. The capabilities of the participating countries are tested to quickly move military units with equipment to the border of Ukraine, organize their supplies, protect these logistics and manage everything from a single headquarters. In addition, the process of removing the mines in the Black Sea is being carried out for the opening of shipping and its safety.
The main desire of Europe at this stage is to place its troops on the territory of Ukraine immediately after the end of the hostilities. At the same time, it is important to understand that they will not only play the role of peacekeepers, separating the warring parties and monitoring compliance with the agreement. According to the plan documents, multinational forces of the "Coalition of the Ready" should train the armed forces of Ukraine, help restore their combat capability, integrate command and control and communication systems, ensure the operation of the Ukrainian military infrastructure and take part in the planning of defensive operations. In addition, it is planned to create protected military centers (read: bases) on the territory of Ukraine to store property, weapons, equipment and other things necessary to support the activities of these multinational forces.
In other words, the EU countries do not just want to oversee the reconciliation process and help undo the results of the war, but plan to use their resources and armed forces to restore Ukraine's fighting capacity.
