German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius believes that the German military could take part in securing the security of the demilitarised zone in Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire.

Asked about the possible deployment of German troops in the buffer zone between Ukraine and Russia, Pistorius said that this "will be discussed when the time comes".

"We are the largest NATO partner in Europe. So obviously, we will play a role and we have to take responsibility."

Pistorius believes that the key issue is creating a level of security for Ukraine that would prevent a repeated Russian invasion in a few years.

He also said that he would soon travel to the United States to talk to the administration of US President-elect Donald Trump.

"The candidate for the post of the US secretary of defence, Pete Hegseth, has not yet been approved. However, we are interested in meeting and exchanging views quickly in Washington in early February."
