Following the online summit of the 'coalition of the willing' in London, about a dozen and a half countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Turkey, Canada, and Australia, are negotiating the deployment of troops in Ukraine.

It is planned to send up to 30,000 military personnel to Ukraine, while other countries will provide assistance with weapons and logistics.
