WARSAW (Reuters) - Germany's input in improving security in the eastern European part of NATO alliance should be its help in resolving the conflict in Ukraine, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Thursday.

"This is not only about respecting the truce, but to work out a solution. This is the biggest contribution in this part of the world," Steinmeier told a joint news conference with his Polish counterpart Witold Waszczykowski, referring to Germany's involvement in Ukraine peace talks.
