To add a little colour to the coalition of the willing, it is distinct from the EU measures that have been referenced. This is a conglomerate of nations—30 at this time—that are like-minded in protecting Ukraine, rebuilding the Ukrainian armed forces, deterring Russia, and defending values and Europe.
The discussions are happening at the political level. Our Prime Minister and our Minister of Defence have participated. There are also cascading discussions happening at the strategic military and operational military levels.
Operational headquarters are being led by the U.K. and France in Paris, into which the 30 nations have the opportunity to embed planners and liaison officers to develop robust implementation plans if a ceasefire is reached in Ukraine. That could see the potential voluntary deployment of these coalition of the willing member states.
Importantly, that would not be a NATO mission at this time. It would have no Article 5 guarantee in its current construct.
