Nearly 3,000 troops from 12 European countries will rehearse sending a peacekeeping force into Ukraine in Poland from 9 to 22 November, in Exercise Koalicja. Britain is sending 300 troops and two RAF Typhoon jets, and France 1,500. An unnamed Western official said forces would defend themselves, but only in a way that was "defensive in nature".
