OREANDA-NEWS. German government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit said that Berlin is opposed to sending any NATO missions to Ukraine. It is reported by RIA Novosti.

“On this occasion, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has clearly stated many times, as well as the French president and the American president, that no NATO personnel, NATO soldiers will be sent outside NATO or to Ukraine,” Hebeshtreit said.
