GERMAN peace campaigners have called for their country to oppose Nato troops being sent to fight in Ukraine.

The Action Alliance against the Nato Security Conference also urged an immediate ceasefire and the opening of peace talks between Ukraine, the Nato military bloc and Russia.

Wednesday’s statement by the group came days after the second anniversary of the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and a widely criticised remark by French President Emmanuel Macron that sending Western troops into the conflict should not be “ruled out.”
