A slim majority of Germans are in favour of deploying Bundeswehr forces as part of a possible peacekeeping force in Ukraine to monitor any ceasefire

that is agreed, a poll showed on Tuesday.



European leaders, alarmed at being sidelined from talks on the future security of Ukraine, are considering possible contributions to any future peace mission as U.S. and Russian officials meet to discuss ending the three-year-old war.



A Forsa poll for Stern magazine said that 49% of Germans favoured such a deployment while 44% opposed it and 7% abstained.
