China has expressed its readiness to play a constructive and impartial role in the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis, with Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning affirming Beijing's willingness to contribute to peace efforts. Additionally, reports indicate that China is prepared to send troops to Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping mission, a proposal that aligns with earlier suggestions from Moscow for Chinese involvement in security guarantees to ensure lasting peace. Meanwhile, Germany is grappling with the prospect of deploying its troops to Ukraine as part of a European peacekeeping force, a move that has sparked domestic backlash due to the country's historical sensitivities related to militarism. The debate in Germany is further complicated by a new law that could revive military conscription, raising concerns about social tensions and public division over military engagement. Some German political figures, such as AfD's Alice Weidel, have criticized the idea of sending troops to Ukraine, warning it could lead to permanent escalation rather than peacekeeping. Despite these discussions, the conflict in Ukraine shows no immediate signs of resolution, and the possibility of German military involvement remains a contentious and evolving issue.
