Poland will not send troops to Ukraine, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Monday, as he set off for an emergency summit in Paris to discuss Europe's role in any ceasefire. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer earlier became the first European leader to say he was ready to put peacekeeping troops in Ukraine.

Germany, Poland and Spain all signalled reluctance to deploy troops to the Ukraine as part of the settlement. Britain, France and Sweden spoke out in favour as they attempted to put pressure on their European allies to step up their support for Kyiv.

Germans are divided on the issue of sending the Bundeswehr on a peacekeeping mission to Ukraine. According to a Forsa survey for "Stern", 49% support this idea, while 44% are against it. The survey highlights German division on the potential European peacekeeping mission to Ukraine.

The German government has expressed its willingness to send troops to support a potential peacekeeping mission in Ukraine, Sky News reports. According to the agency, a representative of the German Ministry of Defense stated that Germany "will not shy away" from deploying troops to Ukraine if the appropriate framework is agreed upon.

A major divide is emerging in Europe ahead of the Paris emergency meeting. Germany has rejected the UK's plan to send troops to Ukraine, while Italy and Norway remain undecided on their stance. The meeting could determine Europe’s next move in the ongoing conflict.
