Speculation that Europe could intervene in Ukraine if a ceasefire deal with Russia is reached has intensified as countries await the return of US President-elect Donald Trump to the White House in January.
Trump has made it clear that he will seek an immediate ceasefire to end the conflict and that he sees Europeans as responsible for ensuring security on their continent.

Speaking to reporters in Berlin, Pistorius echoed the words of other European politicians, saying it was too early to decide on any troop presence in Ukraine, as there had been no talks and no prospect of a ceasefire.
“If there is a ceasefire, of course the Western community, NATO partners, potentially the United Nations and the European Union will have to discuss how to ensure such peace, such a ceasefire,” he said. “And it is obvious that Germany, as the largest economy in Europe, will play its role there.”
Pistorius added that he could not yet say what that role might mean because it depends on the terms and conditions of the ceasefire and the potential mandate for the peacekeeping force.
He emphasized that it is also necessary to clearly understand that both Ukraine and Russia accepted such a mandate.
“You can tell from my answer that there are a lot more questions than answers right now. And that’s why I can’t give you a definitive answer,” he said.
