Ukraine’s Cooperation with the “Coalition of the Willing”
In July, Ukraine and nine partner countries announced the formation of an Anti-Ballistic Coalition. The declaration establishing it was approved on July 13 at a “Coalition of the Willing” summit held in Paris.
The “Coalition of the Willing” was launched by the United Kingdom and France in spring 2025. The group currently includes around 30 countries, including EU member states, the United States, Australia, and Japan.
