Germany rejected Sir Keir Starmer’s call for Europe to deploy troops to Ukraine as part of a peace deal.

After an emergency summit in Paris, Chancellor Olaf Scholz criticized the proposal as premature and inappropriate, noting that discussions on troop deployments were being held without Ukraine’s involvement.

Countries like Poland, Spain, and Germany expressed reluctance to send troops, while Britain, France, and Sweden pushed for more support.

Starmer emphasized the need for Europe to take responsibility for Ukraine’s post-war security, with U.S. backing, The Telegraph has reported.

The situation remains complex, with concerns about European defense spending and the potential role of U.S. troops in peacekeeping.
