More than 1,500 soldiers from the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Poland will take part in military exercises in Poland in November. The aim is to prepare for a possible deployment of European forces in Ukraine if a ceasefire with Russia is concluded, according to the British newspaper The Times.
The source does not say whether such a deployment has been approved. The exercises are framed as preparation for a possible scenario that would only apply after a ceasefire is agreed.
Soldiers from four countries – the UK, France, Germany and Poland – will take part. The exercises will take place in Poland.
