Germany, France, and Poland: Leaders Meet to Discuss Unity on Ukraine Support

The Weimar Triangle, consisting of Germany, France, and Poland, is working towards aligning their policies regarding Ukraine. The primary objective is for these European countries to make joint political decisions. Ukraine has experienced setbacks in defending against Russian troops. A proposed US aid package worth $60 billion (55 billion euros) remains stalled in Congress due to opposition from right-wing Republicans. In light of this, Tusk, the Polish Prime Minister, called on Paris, Berlin, and Warsaw to mobilize Europe and provide Ukraine with additional aid. On Friday, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz hosted French President Emmanuel Macron and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Berlin for urgent discussions on supporting Ukraine. However, simmering disagreements between Macron and Scholz could potentially undermine cooperation among the allies.
