Jan 07, 2026
Paris [France], January 7: Germany has raised the prospect of a military involvement in securing a potential ceasefire in Ukraine during a meeting of Kiev's allies in Paris.
"This could include, for example, us registering forces for Ukraine on neighbouring NATO territory after a ceasefire," Chancellor Friedrich Merz said following the meeting.
"The nature and scope of a German contribution must and will be decided by the federal government and the German Bundestag as soon as the conditions mentioned have been clarified," Merz said. The UK and France will establish military hubs in Ukraine in the event of a peace deal with Russia, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said. "We signed a declaration of intent on the deployment of forces to Ukraine in the event of a peace deal.
"This is a vital part of our commitment to stand with Ukraine for the long-term." (DPA)
