Minister of Defense of Germany Boris Pistorius (Boris Pistorius) rules out sending German troops to Ukraine. The minister emphasized this during the government hearings in the Bundestag on Wednesday, June 5.
In response to a question by Rüdiger Lucassen, a member of parliament from the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany party, whether the German government has been informed about the debate in the European Union and France, and whether government officials are considering the possibility of sending German troops to Ukraine, Pistorius said: “The answers to your questions are no and no.”
It will be recalled that at the end of February, French President Emmanuel Macron did not rule out deployment in Ukraine Western troops, in particular French soldiers. However, Macron immediately clarified that this is still a theoretical discussion. Subsequently, he stated several times about this possibility.
