Germany Backs Down: No Troops for Ukraine After Trump’s Warning: Berlin just blinked. Germany has quietly abandoned plans to send troops to Ukraine, after U.S. President Donald Trump made it crystal clear that there will be no American boots on the ground. The move reveals the growing cracks inside the Western alliance—and it’s a signal that Europe may be forced to fight its own battles without Washington’s full backing. Just days ago, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz hinted at openness to a “peacekeeping mission” in Ukraine. The proposal came from the so-called “coalition of the willing”—a group of NATO states eager to station Western forces as monitors in case of a ceasefire. But Moscow has long rejected any foreign military presence in Ukraine, calling it a red line.
