Survey: Most Germans Support Peacekeeping Force in Ukraine

A majority of Germans support the idea of an international peacekeeping force being deployed in Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire, according to a new survey published on Thursday.

The survey, conducted by the YouGov research institute on behalf of dpa, found that 56% of respondents back the deployment of such a force.

However, support for German involvement in this peacekeeping effort is much lower, with only 23% in favour of German soldiers taking part.

In contrast, 33% oppose the involvement of German troops, while 19% are fundamentally against a peacekeeping force altogether.

A quarter of those surveyed did not provide an opinion on the matter.

The survey, which was conducted online between December 20 and 23, included responses from 2,194 people across Germany.

NATO is currently considering how a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia could be achieved, but there are no signs that fighting will stop soon. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has therefore opposed a public discussion about a peacekeeping force.

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius echoed this sentiment in an interview with the Funke media group just before Christmas. He said discussions about a peacekeeping force would only happen once ceasefire conditions are clear, but added that, as the largest European NATO member and the biggest economy in Europe, Germany had to be involved.

Ukraine has been fighting to repel a full-scale Russian invasion for almost three years with extensive support from its Western allies.
