Germany Won’t Send Troops To Ukraine Without ‘U.S Involvement’ Amid Peacekeeping Talks

Germany won’t send troops to Ukraine without U.S involvement, AFP reports, citing a government source. The decision follows US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s refusal to deploy American troops as part of security guarantees to Kiev. Meanwhile, Poland has also dismissed the idea of sending its soldiers. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, however, signaled willingness to contribute troops post-ceasefire. Moscow warns that any unauthorized foreign military presence will be treated as a “legitimate target,” while US-Russia talks on Ukraine continue in Riyadh. #Germany #Ukraine #USInvolvement #Peacekeepers #Russia #NATO #Poland #KeirStarmer #Zelensky #Trump #Putin #RiyadhTalks #UN #Security #Geopolitics #War #Diplomacy #Moscow #EU #Ceasefire ~ED.103~HT.318~

What are the prospects of European peacekeeping troops in Ukraine? Leaders remain divided

While the UK's Keir Starmer reaffirmed he’s ready to consider sending British forces on the Ukrainian ground alongside others, Germany's Olaf Scholz called the idea 'premature.'

In full: PM statement following meeting of European leaders

Sir Keir Starmer reiterates that he is “prepared to consider committing British forces on the ground” in Ukraine “if there is a lasting peace agreement”. The prime minister adds: “There must be a US backstop because a US security guarantee is the only way to effectively deter Russia from attacking Ukraine again”. Report by Jonesia.
