Ukraine currently has one of the biggest and most capable armies in Europe. However, to sustain the current level of fighting, Ukraine relies on continued military aid from the Ramstein group. While European Allies have provided the most total assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale war, the US still holds an edge in terms of military aid. For how long is the group able to keep up the support if the US reduces the number of arms it provides to Ukraine? In case of a ceasefire, Ukraine says it will need security guarantees from NATO countries. With NATO entry itself on hold for the time being, this would mean a coalition of the willing that would have troops on the ground to police the peace and deter Russia. How many troops would the like-minded countries need to send to Ukraine to make a difference? Should Russia launch another attack, would those forces engage?
