Germany not currently considering sending peacekeepers to Ukraine

Germany and its partners will only consider deploying peacekeepers to Ukraine as part of future "security guarantees" once specific conditions, including a ceasefire, are established.

"This is perhaps the fifth step before the second. […] This issue has numerous prerequisites, the most critical being the establishment of a ceasefire agreed upon by both sides. […] At present, Putin continues his brutal war of aggression against Ukraine," the spokesperson said, commenting on Russia's latest large-scale attack on Ukraine's energy sector, which invved over 90 missiles and more than 200 drones.
