Of course it increases the risk - it's the whole point of the ask.

Why is nobody being open about that? Because I suspect the appetite for that is low. Germany is about closer to Russia than we are—how many Germans are willing to go die in Ukraine?

A recent poll suggests Germans are currently marginally in favor of sending peacekeepers.

The point of a peacekeeping mission is -of course- to prevent further war by means of deterrence (though there's always still a small risk, of course), so hopefully no one goes to die there.

Currently Germany just had elections, so a clear unified statement from the new-government-in-formation is not yet available.

How this works is pretty common knowledge. The world has been using peacekeepers for quite a while. But you know that and you know you are just concern trolling.

Nobody being open about how deterrence works? Probably because no one thought it needed to be explained.
