European Union (EU) states, led by France and the United Kingdom, are planning to deploy a "coalition of the willing" to Ukraine following a potential ceasefire, according to a report by the German newspaper Die Welt, citing EU diplomatic sources. The proposed force could consist of up to 15,000 troops from EU and NATO countries.
This deployment aims to serve as a deterrent and to monitor the ceasefire. The initiative would require only an invitation from Ukraine, rather than a mandate from the United Nations or the EU.
