## Key points

- 300 British troops will rehearse in Poland.
- The 11-nation exercise involves 2,800 personnel.
- Any mission to Ukraine depends on the war ending.

## Summary

Around 300 British soldiers will travel to Poland for a multinational exercise preparing to support the rebuilding of Ukraine’s armed forces if the war ends. The drills mark the first test of the UK- and France-led force, which is intended to help Ukraine deter future aggression.

Exercise Koalicja runs from 9 to 22 November and involves 2,800 personnel from 11 countries. It will practise moving and supplying troops, coordinating command arrangements and training Ukrainian recruits; RAF aircraft will also rehearse supporting the reopening of Ukrainian airspace. The force is not a NATO or peacekeeping mission, and whether it will deploy remains uncertain while fighting continues.
