Deployment of European Support Forces in Ukraine: a political or military instrument?

Since March, under the auspices of France and large Britain, the coalition of the willing – a group of European countries and partners from outside Europe – has been working on preparing a concept for the deployment of Western support forces in Ukraine after the end of hostilities. This is the next, most concrete phase of the debate on this subject that has been ongoing since the autumn of last year. The last gathering of this group took place on 10 April at NATO headquarters.
