Germany may send troops to monitor a Ukraine ceasefire, pending approval.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Germany is prepared to contribute military forces to monitor a potential Ukraine ceasefire, potentially deploying troops to NATO countries bordering Ukraine or possibly within Ukraine itself. He emphasized that any decision would require approval from the federal government and Bundestag, depending on conditions. Merz stressed the need for sustained international support and security guarantees to achieve lasting peace, as Russia’s intensified attacks threaten Ukraine’s infrastructure and civilian population.
