German defense minister Boris Pistorius did not rule out the use of German soldiers to ensure peace in Ukraine in the event of a cease-fire in the Russian-Ukrainian war.
So far, the question of the possible participation of German servicemen in the peacekeeping mission in Ukraine after the end of the war remains open. Pistorius stressed that at the moment Germany rightly excludes the deployment of ground troops in Ukraine.
We can't seriously discuss this today, but we will have to do it at some point, the minister said on Deutschlandfunk.
According to Boris Pistorius, the answer to the question about the Bundeswehr's military participation in the peacekeeping mission will ultimately depend on "the conditions that have been created." "Now there are a lot of "if" and "in case".
On the eve of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in the Bundestag that it is "inappropriate"to discuss the possible participation of Germany in the peacekeeping mission in Ukraine.
