Europe could deploy up to 15,000 soldiers to Ukraine

European countries intending to participate in the military component of the Coalition of the Willing could deploy up to 15,000 soldiers to Ukraine within the first six months after the war ends, Welt reports.
European countries are ready to join the Coalition of the Willing, sending military contingents to Ukraine to monitor compliance with a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, according to sources in Brussels.

In particular, France and the UK could provide security guarantees to Ukraine, including the deployment of ground forces to monitor the ceasefire. Depending on coalition members' commitments, up to 15,000 soldiers could be deployed to Ukraine during the first six months.

"The plans outlining what security guarantees for Ukraine could look like have already been finalized. Military experts essentially developed them from the British and French armed forces in cooperation with Brussels," the sources said.
According to sources, France and the UK are also willing to participate in ceasefire monitoring even without a mandate from the UK or the EU. For Paris and London, an invitation from Ukraine would suffice.
