Details: Pistorius made this statement in response to a question from Rüdiger Lucassen, a member of the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany party.
Lucassen asked whether the German government was aware of the debate in the European Union and France and whether the government was considering sending German troops to Ukraine.
In response, Pistorius said: “The answers to your questions are no and no.”
