Weimar triangle: what is known
This informal international association of Germany, Poland, and France was established in 1991. Numerous meetings of foreign ministers and heads of state occur within the group. Issues regarding Ukraine are often discussed at the summits.
Initiatives were put forward several times in different periods to join Ukraine into the respective union and thus transform the "triangle" into a "quadrilateral".
Macron will hold talks with Scholz regarding Ukraine
Journalists refer to their insiders in German and French political circles.
In addition, it is emphasized that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk will also participate in the negotiations.
Macron, Scholz and Tusk want the meeting to be a show of unity after a tense period in which Franco-German disputes over Ukraine escalated into open hostility.
The prolonged tension began with Macron's statement that he does not rule out the possibility of sending Western troops to fight in Ukraine. The more cautious Scholz replied that this would not happen.
According to Politico, Macron's statement about "cowards in Europe" was aimed at the German chancellor.
Official Berlin is concerned that Macron has been tough on Ukraine but has not provided the same military support as Germany.
