The situation will only change “if Trump has taken some steps” or “Putin restrained his aggressive war.”
Germany temporarily suspended a discussion of the possible direction of its troops in Ukraine after the end of the war in Russia. Bild reported this with a reference to government resources. Instead, Berlin decided to focus on the financing of the armed forces.
According to the publication, Chancellor Friedrich Mertz announced his willingness to send German soldiers to control the adherence to peace after the summit in Washington on August 18 with US and Ukraine president’s participation Donald Trump and Vladimir Zelensky. Even the possible mandate of the mission was discussed. However, clearly that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is not planning to meet Zelensky, Merz and Deputy Prime Minister Lars Klingbail has ended the Kremlin aimed at continuing the war.
Accordingly, the sending of German troops to oversee the ceasefire is no longer considered, at least at this stage. The situation will only change “if Trump has taken some steps” or “Putin restrained his aggressive war.” So far, according to a government official, there are no signs of one or the other.
Generally, the Federal Republic of Germany doubts that the deployment of western forces in Ukraine will take place under the guarantee of security, especially after Trump refuses to provide American soldiers for this mission. Germany plans to continue strengthening the armed forces in the event of a cease -stop to prevent Russia from a new attack, occupy part of the costs for payment of Ukraine’s armed forces and develop joint manufacture of weapons along with the participation of German companies.
Remember that US president Donald Trump and the leaders of European countries have said that American state department head Marco Rubio will lead the working group as part of NATO national security advisers and representatives of NATO, who will form security guarantees for Ukraine. At the same time, the United States will not send its military to Ukraine, but will be ready to support European countries, expressing the desire to direct their military to Ukraine as a security guarantee.
At the same time, about ten countries expressed their willingness to send their military contingents to Ukraine.
