Year, Month, Day, at the Paris "Willing Coalition" summit, European countries and Ukraine signed a declaration of intent regarding the post-war deployment of multinational forces to Ukraine.
On month day, the Russia-Ukraine war has lasted for days.
Alternatively, stimulated by major events such as the global multipolarity movement, the U.S. raid to capture Venezuela's Maduro, the intensifying strategic rift between Europe and the U.S., and the expansion of Russia's winter offensive, Europe (particularly countries like the UK, France, and Germany) is expressing its stance with unprecedented clarity and decisiveness.
I. The United Kingdom, France, and other countries signed a statement on the deployment of multinational forces in Ukraine after the war.
Year, Month, Day, at the Élysée Palace in Paris, the "Voluntary Coalition" summit saw countries such as the United Kingdom and France, along with other members of the "Voluntary Coalition," sign a statement of intent with Ukraine regarding the deployment of multinational forces to Ukraine after the war.
This statement consists of five parts.
Britain, France, and the countries of the "Voluntary Alliance" will assume the responsibility of strengthening the Ukrainian armed forces after the war, and will deploy multinational forces to assist and ensure security "in the air, at sea, and on land."
Establish a coalition operations headquarters in Paris and set up a "U.S.-Ukraine-Coalition" coordination group, led by the peace-initiating nation, the United States, to oversee the ceasefire.
Providing military aid and support to Ukraine.
If Moscow attacks Ukraine in the future, provide binding commitments to Ukraine.
Long-term defense cooperation with Ukraine (a de-Americanized mini-NATO plan).
Unlike previous European practices of "empty talk meetings," this conference and its statement have concretely confirmed the formation and deployment plans for multinational forces. They have also tentatively established detailed information, including "troop deployment, numbers, specific types of weapons, and the necessary and effectively operational components of armed forces," among other specifics.
Thus, each European country has a different division of labor and requires corresponding preparations.
Among them, Italian Prime Minister Meloni participated in the joint negotiations, stating that Italy will not send any ground troops to Ukraine, but supports Ukraine's post-war security strategy and provides economic assistance.
Swedish Prime Minister Kristersson stated that Sweden will assume responsibility for Ukraine's security after the war, provide assistance including Gripen fighter jets, support Ukraine in safeguarding its airspace, contribute resources for Black Sea mine clearance, and continue training Ukrainian military personnel.
Belgian Prime Minister De Croo has pledged that once a ceasefire agreement is reached, Belgium will enhance its corresponding "air and maritime capabilities" in support of Ukraine.
French President Macron stated at the summit press conference that European partners are prepared to deploy a "coalition of the willing" force after a ceasefire is in place for "one day."
Undoubtedly, the signing of this statement of intent by the "coalition of the willing" countries, such as the UK and France, with Ukraine to deploy multinational forces after the war establishes a baseline for Europe and Ukraine to ensure Ukraine's post-war security through "robust" and "legally binding guarantees."
It is also an extension of the U.S.-Russia peace plan and the U.S.-Europe Ukraine peace plan, as well as the "European stance."
U.S. President's Special Representative Witkoff and U.S. President's son-in-law Kushner participated in this meeting.
The U.S. side confirmed that the talks achieved "significant progress on several key workstreams," stating that it "agrees with the alliance's view that lasting security assurances and robust prosperity commitments are essential for Ukraine's enduring peace."
The United States largely endorsed the European statement.
Thus, on the day of the month, the delegations of the United States and Ukraine "will continue to work on the basic framework for security guarantees and ending the war."
However, whether Moscow is willing to accept this statement truly adds a significant, dark period to the matter.
So, if Moscow absolutely refuses to agree, will Trump replay the old script, siding with Moscow’s position once again, reneging and unilaterally pressuring Ukraine into making concessions, thereby "deliberately" prolonging the peace process in Ukraine.
The variables are too unpredictable; we might as well wait and see the outcome.

II. Europe is accelerating the layout and construction of de-Americanized and independent space-based resources and systems.
Undoubtedly, as introduced above, the signing of the statement on the deployment of multinational forces in Ukraine after the war by countries such as the United Kingdom and France truly demonstrates the "European stance." However, in an era where the global landscape is marked by the law of the jungle, the impact of Europe's voice ultimately depends on its strength.
The key lies in whether Europe can quickly establish independent space-based resources and systems.
The Russia-Ukraine war has demonstrated in practice that any traditional mechanized warfare and long-range strategic operations are significantly influenced by high-tech combat.
Meanwhile, the significant impact of these high-tech operations "stems first and foremost from space."
Space is a domain that is often overlooked by the general public yet is of critical importance. Gains and losses in this domain are closely linked to global communications, telecommunications, navigation, observation, scientific research, exploration activities, and national security, among others, directly and decisively impacting a nation’s military capabilities and strategic practices.
Undoubtedly, it is entirely different from the traditional arms race of building ships, cannons, tanks, and missiles to gain numerical superiority. In the context of modern high-tech warfare, competition in space and for resources has become the absolute core of the arms race among major powers, both now and in the future.
Previously, NATO and Europe's "space-based resources and systems" primarily relied on the United States.
This is also one of the main reasons why Ukraine's resistance has faced increasing pressure since the United States, under Trump, ceased its aid.
In the spring of that year, Trump cut off aid to Ukraine, leading to Ukraine's disastrous defeat in Kursk, which immediately drew concern and vigilance from leaders of several European countries.
Since then, with the ongoing significant strategic rift between Europe and the United States and the continuous rapprochement between Trump and Moscow, European countries have widely come to believe that excessive reliance on American space technology, resources, and intelligence constitutes a strategic vulnerability.
As stated by the head of Germany's Hensoldt, Mr. Schöff, whether Europe can build an "integrated space defense system" will directly determine "whether Europe can achieve victory in the struggle to safeguard its sovereignty."
Thus, for Europe, the layout and construction of a de-Americanized and independent space-based resource system has become an urgent strategic "hard requirement."
Europeans are not the fools that Trump supporters generally and confidently believe them to be, who "bite the hand that feeds them." Since they are aware of this, they have long been meticulously and extensively planning their strategies.
According to the U.S. Navy's official website materials from the reference year and month, Europe had already begun to "covertly" integrate related European enterprises and establish its own independent space-based resources and systems as early as the late Biden White House era, in response to traditional U.S. space development and competition from Musk.
Among them, three major European companies—Airbus, Thales, and Leonardo—are integrating their respective space projects, space systems business, and space digitalization resources into a joint aerospace enterprise of super scale, employing tens of thousands of employees.
Meanwhile, these three companies are also intensively working to merge their respective missile businesses, aiming to establish a super missile enterprise.
U.S. military intelligence has confirmed that this joint venture aims to enhance "strategic autonomy in the European space domain," believing it will commence formal operations within the year and capture nearly all of Europe's space-related business.
Meanwhile, these three companies are also actively working to merge their respective missile businesses and jointly establish a new enterprise.
Additionally, the U.S. military network pays more attention to Germany.
As Trump drives the strategic rift between Europe and the United States, Germany has rapidly completed its "decoupling" and become the backbone of European security, while also advancing its space-based resources and system layout.
Among them, Kongsberg of Paris-Norway is also in close cooperation with companies such as Germany's Hensoldt (satellite system technology), Hensoldt (aperture radar and satellite sensor technology), Isar Aerospace (launch technology), and Kongsberg Satellite Services (ground communication networks and satellite data transmission technology).
Currently preparing to establish satellite facilities in Germany and "build Europe's autonomous defense capabilities."
Currently, this German-French-Norwegian joint venture has publicly stated that "the surveillance, intelligence gathering, and targeting capabilities of sovereign states are the foundation for building a reliable deterrence mechanism." It aims to provide Europe with a sovereign satellite system for space-based intelligence collection, surveillance, and targeting as soon as possible.
Europe may establish an independent space-based resource and system within the next - years. Based on current extensive data and references from U.S. sources, it is speculated that Europe indeed possesses abundant funding and technology. There is a high probability that it could achieve its foundational goals by - and become a key player in the global space-based resource and system landscape.
Thus, at the crossroads of the "jungle era" where "force and war" can alter the status quo of nations, it is also the fortune of the Ukrainian people.

On the day of the month, Ukraine attacked a Russian super arsenal, the Kostroma region's Neya missile and artillery plant, with the explosion's mushroom cloud captured from kilometers away.

III. Europe Continues to Increase Assistance to Ukraine to Enhance Drone Cooperative Combat Capabilities
Between the months of [year] on the official U.S. military website, multiple articles were published specifically discussing Europe's assistance to Ukraine in drone warfare.
Among these, the joint initiative "Quantum Frontier Industry" by Germany and Ukraine stands out as the most typical example.
In fact, since the outbreak of the war, among the many European defense cooperation projects organized by the UK to form a drone aid alliance for Ukraine, some German defense companies have consistently participated in drone assistance programs for Ukraine. However, the scale has been very limited, primarily focused on critical combat operations and thus has remained largely under the radar.
Germany and Ukraine jointly established "Quantum Frontier Industries," a large-scale military enterprise built by Germany within its territory specifically to meet the needs of the war in Ukraine. It is capable of producing tens of thousands of special tactical drones annually, designed for anti-electronic interference and integrating combat, reconnaissance, and command functions.
The unique aspect of the German-style drone lies in its autonomous and intelligent capabilities, enabling it to independently complete complex combat missions while resisting electronic warfare. It will be deployed across multiple Ukrainian military combat units during the year, primarily for tasks such as target locking, adjusting artillery firing parameters, and transmitting data required for combat planning, including coordinates. This has the potential to exert a strategic impact on frontline operations in Ukraine.
In short, these drones are tactical mini-satellites on the Ukrainian battlefield.
Able to seize every opportunity to guide firepower strikes against any weak points along the extensive Russian front lines.
Previously, on [date], Ukraine released a combat report on the destruction of a Russian submarine, specifically highlighting that the "Sea Baby" unmanned vessel was responsible for this mission. The "Sea Baby" unmanned vessel is a typical example of an "autonomous intelligent drone."
According to the introduction on the U.S. Navy's website, it is precisely due to the special capabilities of the "Sea Baby" unmanned vessel—such as preset targets and combat missions—that it can independently and flexibly choose combat directions and tasks in extremely complex operational environments, relying on its own intelligent control system.
Ultimately, after a long-distance raid and bypassing the multiple layers of security around the Russian naval base, the mission was accomplished by "making multiple turns in a confined space and finally striking the target."
This was a strategic "decapitation" strike that was purely about hitting someone right in the face.
Therefore, to keep Moscow in the dark and puzzled, Ukraine has so far maintained a high level of secrecy regarding the technology and manufacturer of the "Sea Baby" unmanned vessels.
