Günther calls on the Federal Government: More cooperation, less dispute!
The political discourse in Germany is currently dominated by one important topic: the security guarantees for Ukraine and the role of the Bundeswehr in this. Prime Minister Daniel Günther (CDU) appealed to the federal government today and called for less arguing and to concentrate on government work. In his remarks, he emphasized that the first 70 days of the new government show a positive example of cooperation. At the same time, he warns of a growing distrust within the coalition, which is viewed extremely critically, especially in view of the current international challenges. NDR has prepared this information for us.
Another important point in Günther's statement was the debate about a possible Bundeswehr deployment in Ukraine. According to him, it is premature to discuss such an operation, but he nevertheless emphasizes Germany's responsibility as the largest country in Europe and an important NATO state. Die Zeit reports that Federal Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has indicated a change of course on the issue in question. During his trip to Japan, he no longer ruled out the participation of German soldiers in a peace mission, which further fueled the discussion about security guarantees in Germany.
Peace mission and international responsibility
The possibility of stationing Bundeswehr soldiers in Ukraine plays a central role in the current discussions. Germany and other European countries could be involved in a possible peace deal, with security expert Carlo Masala calling for Germany to be actively involved in an international peacekeeping force. However, it is also pointed out that the Bundeswehr does not have the necessary capacity to provide such a force, which also applies to other countries such as Great Britain and France, as the [Tagesschau](https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/sicherheits Garantien-ukraine-debatte-100.html) reports.
The debate over security guarantees has already given rise to different opinions within the political arena. Opposition parties such as the AfD and the Left have clearly spoken out against the deployment of German soldiers, while CDU Vice President Michael Kretschmer also follows this stance and strictly rejects German ground troops in Ukraine. The current SPD parliamentary group leader Matthias Miersch advocates not having a discussion about ground troops at the moment and emphasizes a wait-and-see attitude.
