Under the framework of the ‘Coalition of the Willing’, a group of approximately 35 states led by France and the United Kingdom is organizing the ‘Koalicja 2026’ military exercise. The maneuvers, scheduled for November, are designed to test the operational readiness of a multinational force to secure a potential ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Planned activities include rehearsing post-war peacekeeping, troop deployment, and logistical coordination. The exercises will take place in Poland, Romanian airspace, and the western Black Sea, simulating the rapid movement of forces and the delivery of essential supplies such as food and fuel. Participating nations include the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Poland. Germany has committed to providing staff officers, logistical support, and up to two A400M transport aircraft for aerial refueling. The initiative aims to prepare allies to provide security guarantees and support post-war reconstruction while serving as a deterrent against further aggression. Recent details clarify that the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ operates independently of NATO and the EU, following a decision made at a Ukraine summit in Berlin in December 2025. The German Bundeswehr’s specific contribution includes approximately ten staff officers and logistical support for troop movements through German territory. While the exact scale of German involvement remains subject to government and parliamentary decisions, the participation serves as a sign of solidarity with international partners. The exercise is intended to demonstrate the readiness and credibility of allied forces across land, air, and sea.
