Germany is mulling the deployment of 200 soldiers to Ukraine to help and protect monitors overseeing a shaky truce in the east of the country. Despite the ceasefire, fighting has continued around Donetsk and Luhansk.
BERLIN (Reuters) - Berlin is considering deploying soldiers to monitor the ceasefire negotiated by the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) between separatists and the army in eastern Ukraine, a German government source said on Saturday.
The source said on Saturday that the German armed forces were prepared to provide soldiers and equipment if political decisions were made to the effect that there should be an OSCE mission involving German troops.
The number of soldiers that would be sent is, however, not yet foreseeable and there is no clear operational concept as yet because that would depend on the security situation in Ukraine and conditions set by the OSCE, the source said.

My Comment: I know that Merkel's intentions are good .... but the last time German soldiers were in this part of Ukraine .... they .... with their Ukrainian nationalist allies .... massacred millions and utterly destroyed anything and everything. This is a bad idea .... to put it bluntly .... it will only inflamed tensions and will escalate the conflict. Send aid and unarmed observers .... yes. Armed German soldiers .... even in a peacekeeping role .... absolutely not.

I hope this doesen't happen and just to ask what would happen if one of those soldiers got killed by one of the sides in the conflict? Also do you think this will be approved? Do you have any sources in the German government? If yes what do they think of this and is the poltical support for sending soldiers low or high?
THIS IS GONA BE SET UP AS FALSE FLAG IF IT GOES AHEAD CAN YOU NOT SEE IT HEADLINE IN PAPERS GERMAN PEACEMAKERS KILLED BY SEPERTISTS IN ATTACK IF IT HAPPENS THEY WILL THEN USE IT TO ARM KIEV WITH EVERTHING THEY WANT CAUSE THEY ARE LOSING BIG TIME AND ONLY FOR MIBSK ACCORD ALL SOUTHERN UKRAINE WOULD BE NAF CONTROL
WNU,
I know what I read, but these people can't be serious. This would be the worst political/military decision since WWII. Who on earth came up with this idea?
James .... I am glad that my father is not alive. If he was .... and there were armed German soldiers on the ground in this part of Ukraine .... he would (without any hesitation) join the rebels to fight and do everything in his power to overthrow Poroshenko .... but on the top of his hit list would be these German soldiers. This is a bad idea in every way.
While I would hope people would distinguish between 'German' and 'WW2 Germans' sadly the psychological impact of seeing armed German soldiers on the streets of Ukraine would be too much. All it would serve would be to heighten tensions.
That be a bit like sending armed British soldiers to Dublin, and I know for a fact, that's not something I would tolerate...
Plowman,
"That be a bit like sending armed British soldiers to Dublin, and I know for a fact, that's not something I would tolerate...", it would be infinitely worse.
aid and peackeepers wont help. dont forget that seperatists are funded by russia with equipment, manpower and intelligence. If they want to resolve this conflict than everyone should put down their weapons and return all seized cities to ukraine, but that wont happen, which leads only for 2 possible scenaries. 1. use deadly force to take what is theirs back in sync move or 2. to forget about seized cities and live like nothing has happened. We all know that second part isnt real and the first part will follow with actions from russia which will draw in all countries who will help to ukraine and no one wants ww3. so, what left? dont get involve at all and hope that it wont escalate in major conflict.
