US questionnaire to all Europeans

Germany is supposed to report military capacities for Ukraine

 

President Trump is pushing for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine at a rapid pace. While the Europeans still complain that they are not involved, the US government is already taking additional stakes: the allies should list soldiers and weapons using a questionnaire.

 

The US government has asked Germany and other European allies to report possible contributions to security guarantees for Ukraine. The countries should indicate, among other things, how many soldiers they could send to Ukraine for a peacekeeping force or training programs after the end of the Russian war of aggression. It is also said to be about weapon systems and what is expected of the United States.

The background to the US request is obviously US President Donald Trump's plan to negotiate a solution to an end to the Russian war against Ukraine at a meeting with Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin. He expects Europeans to take responsibility for Russia not to attack Ukraine again after a possible agreement. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference that he knew that the questionnaire was available. He hadn't seen him himself, but he could fully understand that he was helping to focus the conversations.

According to diplomats, the question of what Europeans can contribute to a possible peace deal should also be discussed at a meeting of Chancellor Olaf Scholz and other European heads of state and government in Paris. They were surprised last week by Trump's push for talks with Putin and now fear that Ukraine could be forced to make concessions that they don't really want to make. This includes, among other things, the provisional waiver of NATO membership. The United States has also stated that it does not want to send troops to Ukraine itself.
