OREANDA-NEWS Germany, France and Poland will discuss on March 15 in Berlin the existing differences on Ukraine, which have escalated over the past few weeks. This is reported by the newspaper Politico.

"Long-simmering tensions began to heat up at the end of February, when [French President Emmanuel] Macron refused to rule out the possibility of sending Western troops to fight in Ukraine (...) A more cautious [German Chancellor Olaf] Scholz responded by ruling out the use of ground troops from European countries," the publication notes.

The authors also emphasize that such statements by Macron irritate German officials, since Berlin provides more military assistance to Kiev than Paris. In addition to the two politicians, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk will also take part in the meeting, which means restarting the trilateral format of the "Weimar Triangle" that arose in the 1990s.

Earlier it became known that Macron postponed a visit to Kiev due to disagreements with allies in connection with his bellicose rhetoric against Russia. The Politico newspaper reported that the statements of the French leader began to irritate the partners of Paris, especially Berlin.
