According to German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, it is premature to contemplate the possibility of European peacekeeping forces in Ukraine. Echoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz, she told public broadcaster ZDF that "no soldiers will be sent into this hot war." Direct discussions between the US and Russia on the war have spurred discussion about what security assurances Europe could provide as part of a future agreement in Ukraine. Baerbock stated that "peacekeeping is a European task" and underlined that both Ukrainian and European involvement is required in any accord pertaining to Ukraine.

Scholz said the debate was "completely premature" and "highly inappropriate" at this time, given the ongoing war, following a meeting of European leaders on the subject on Monday.
