Europe quietly works on a plan to send troops to Ukraine for post-war security

But we now know?

Dutch soldiers the first line of defense if Russia attacks Baltic states, Minister says

The chance that Russia will attack the Baltic States will increase significantly if Donald Trump pushes through a ceasefire in Ukraine, the Dutch and other European intelligence services believe. If that happens, Dutch soldiers will be the first line of defense in Lithuania, Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans (VVD) told the Telegraaf.

“It is the view of our services that if there is a ceasefire in Ukraine, the threat to the rest of NATO could become much greater within a year,” Brekelmans said. A ceasefire sounds like a good thing, but the Danish and Dutch intelligence services worry that it will only give Russia room to breathe and expand its assault, making Europe less safe.

[...] The NATO members have agreed on a plan to protect the eastern flank in which each of the 32 member states will take charge of a section of the border.
