The German Chancellor Olaf Scholz rejected Sir Keir Starmer’s plan to deploy British troops to Ukraine and said the proposal is “completely premature.”
Scholz blasted Starmer and said it is “highly inappropriate” to send British troops to Ukraine to keep the peace as part of a peacekeeping deal and walked out of the Paris meeting on Monday.
Scholz left the meeting early as it seemed there was irritation amongst the leaders over a “European army” in help keep the peace.
“It is completely premature and the cosmpletely wrong time to be having this discussion now. I am even a little irritated by these debates,” Scholz told reporters.
Scholz said that talks of sending troops is “over the heads of Ukrainians about the outcome of peace talks that haven’t even started.”
He added, “This is highly inappropriate, to put it bluntly and honestly – we don’t even know what the outcome will be.”
