Germany fears military overstretch from potential Ukraine mission

This was reported by ntv.

Parliamentary Commissioner for the Armed Forces of the German Bundestag Henning Otte warns against the Bundeswehr being overloaded with a potential peacekeeping mission in Ukraine.

"One thing must not happen: taking on more and more missions without strengthening the personnel base," the CDU politician said.

According to him, if Germany joins efforts to secure Ukraine with a brigade of about 5,000 soldiers, it would be a "huge challenge for the Bundeswehr."

• If a peace deal goes through, 10 European countries are ready to deploy their troops to Ukraine to provide security guarantees.
