On the 9th a UK- and France-led pro-Ukraine volunteer coalition began its first
multinational military exercises in Poland to rehearse potential post-conflict
deployments to Ukraine. About 2,800 troops from 11 countries are participating;
the drills run through Nov. 22. Main ground exercises are near Nowa Dęba in
southeastern Poland, roughly 100 km from the Ukrainian border; naval drills are
being held in Turkey. The exercise is commanded by a multinational operational
headquarters based in Paris.
