The answer to the question of the Bundeswehr’s military involvement in the peacekeeping mission ultimately depends on a number of factors.
The question of the possible participation of German military personnel in a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine after the end of the war remains open, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said in a comment to Deutschlandfunk.
“We are preparing, working through the scenarios, but we are doing it confidentially,” Pistorius said.
According to him, the answer to the question about the participation of the Bundeswehr military in the peacekeeping mission ultimately depends on a number of factors.
“There are many “ifs” and “ifs” now. If peace is achieved, and if someone then proposes peacekeeping measures using military means, then it depends on the nature of the mandate, its scope, requirements, as well as on the consent now the active parties that are currently fighting,” explained the minister.
Earlier, Burbock said that the allies continue to discuss the issue of what “international presence on the territory of Ukraine to ensure that it can look like a ceasefire.” He also did not rule out the participation of the German Armed Forces to keep the peace.
While Scholz avoided answering the question of whether Berlin could participate in security forces to support a ceasefire in Ukraine if such agreements are reached.
In this regard, Friedrich Merz criticized the proposal of Foreign Minister Annalena Bärbock about the possible participation of Bundeswehr soldiers to maintain peace in Ukraine.
Let’s add that German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius considers it necessary to buy four more new submarines worth more than 4.5 billion euros due to threats from the Russian fleet.
