EU Coalition of the Willing, Conscription, European Security
European Union leaders are discussing a "coalition of the willing" consisting of 30 countries prepared to support a ceasefire in Ukraine. While President Trump insists no U.S. troops will be deployed, Europeans may be forced to consider conscription to man a "tripwire force" on the border. Surveys in Germany show low willingness among youth to take up arms, despite high unemployment making military service a potential career path.
