Initially, the plan was for the permanent deployment of 10,000 troops. At the same time, according to sources, in the event of a threat to Alliance countries or a violation of a possible peace by Russia, another 10,000 troops may be temporarily deployed.

The base is also intended for storing missiles, ammunition, and armored vehicles, which will be transferred to Ukraine after ensuring the security of supply routes.
