Islam Times - Germany has voiced readiness to dispatch forces to Ukraine amid war with Russia, media outlets have cited the defense minister as saying.

Germany’s defense minister Boris Pistorius said he was open to sending German soldiers to Ukraine to help secure a demilitarized zone there if a ceasefire were agreed with Russia, Al Arabiya cited the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung on Saturday.
