The revival of the Weimar Triangle, a diplomatic compact between Poland, Germany, and France, suggests that tensions between France and Germany are improving and a common agenda on arming Kyiv is possible. Poland's efforts to have a bigger say in European leadership are gaining ground, especially in support of Ukraine.
The rebirth of the ‘ Weimar Triangle ’ suggests that Franco-German tensions are on the mend and a common agenda on arming Kyiv is possible. Poland ’s longstanding struggle for a bigger say in European leadership may finally be gaining ground with the revival of the long dormant Weimar Triangle – a diplomatic compact bringing Warsaw together with Germany and France in a regular dialogue on EU affairs.
When the Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk, joined the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, and the French president, Emmanuel Macron, for a meeting in Berlin last Friday, they breathed new political life into a format that has the unfulfilled potential to unite northern, southern and central Europe around a common agenda – especially in support of Ukraine. The three leaders are coming from very different starting points. Poland is rushing to rearm itself and pouring assistance into Ukraine. Scholz is digging his heels in and refusing to give Kyiv Germany’s most potent long-range cruise missiles, while Macron has emerged as Zelenskiy’s most outspoken ally, even though Paris lags far behind Berlin in terms of the volume of its military aid. Relations between France and Germany, long the EU’s leading couple, are as tense as they have been for ages, with domestic politics pulling them in opposite directions
