Part 7/13:
This coalition aims to prepare for the possible “day after” scenario—how to prevent Russia from rearming and resuming hostilities. Central to their strategy is stationing European troops within Ukraine, not at the frontline but further back, to serve as a deterrent against renewed Russian aggression. Concurrently, efforts are underway to rebuild and train Ukraine’s military, transforming it into a formidable force called the “steel porcupine”—a metaphor for a highly defended, resilient Ukraine.
