On Friday, 15 March, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk will meet in Berlin to discuss their positions on the format of support for Ukraine and try to reach an understanding. This is stated in a Politico article, according to Kommersant ukrainskyi 
It is reported that this will be the first meeting in the Weimar Triangle format after Donald Tusk re-joined the Polish government. It will take place against the backdrop of notable contradictions and even tensions in relations between Germany and France that have emerged in recent weeks amid statements by the leaders of the two countries.
This refers to the recent statements by Emmanuel Macron, who did not rule out sending European troops to Ukraine. In response, Olaf Scholz categorically denied this possibility. Macron responded very strongly:
“Europe is clearly faced with a moment when we must not be cowards.”
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius replied that Macron’s comments
“do not help solve the problems we have when it comes to helping Ukraine”.
Germany’s Kiel Institute, which assesses national contributions to Ukraine, sees France as a clear laggard with €640 million in military aid compared to Germany, which has provided or pledged €17.7 billion.
The French dispute these figures and argue that they are instead providing really important weapons.
“France has chosen operational efficiency in its military assistance to Ukraine: promise what you can deliver, deliver what you promise,”
– said the Minister of the Armed Forces, Sébastien Lecornu, recently.
It is because of these tensions with the allies that Macron postponed his visit to Ukraine, the newspaper reports.
“The decision to postpone was made to allow time for talks with allies that would bring ‘tangible results’ for Ukraine, a French diplomat said on condition of anonymity.”

At the same time, officials in Tusk’s government have backed Macron’s tough rhetoric, and Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski recently said that the presence of NATO troops in Ukraine is not unthinkable.
A senior German official said that no concrete decisions or announcements were expected from Friday’s talks, which aim to send a new signal of unity.
