German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he does not expect German troops to be deployed to Ukraine, ntv<\/em> reports.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is not even on the agenda at the moment,”<\/em> Merz stated during an interview with Welt TV<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“We are far from a ceasefire and even further from a peace agreement,” he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to Merz, the three-day ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict declared by Russian leader Vladimir Putin to mark the end of World War II could potentially be “extended.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“But that entirely depends on the Russian government,” Merz noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The German chancellor also confirmed plans to visit Ukraine in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Germany\u2019s new Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, during his first visit to Poland, reaffirmed Germany and Europe\u2019s support for Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
