Quick Glance: German experts: international law allows ground troops in Ukraine
- The deployment of ground troops by a NATO country in Ukraine would not automatically make all other NATO countries parties to the conflict, according to the German parliament's lower house (Bundestag) Research Services.
- If a NATO member state acts unilaterally outside NATO military command structures, neither NATO as a whole nor the other NATO partner states become parties to the conflict.
- French President Emmanuel Macron did not rule out the deployment of ground troops in Ukraine, while German Chancellor Olaf Scholz clearly rejected the deployment of Western soldiers.
- The Bundestag experts stated that a military engagement of French ground troops in favor of Ukraine would be permissible under international law based on the collective right of self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter.
