Germany Wonā€™t Send Troops To Ukraine Without ā€˜U.S Involvementā€™ Amid Peacekeeping Talks

Germany wonā€™t send troops to Ukraine without U.S involvement, AFP reports, citing a government source. The decision follows US Defense Secretary Pete Hegsethā€™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 ā€œlegitimate target,ā€ 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~
