German Chancellor Olaf Scholz convened a crucial meeting in Berlin on Friday with French President Emmanuel Macron and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, where they emphasized the need for European unity to support Ukraine amidst escalating tensions. Macron’s recent suggestion of potential Western troop deployment in Ukraine sparked disagreement, with Scholz expressing criticism of his exacerbating existing divisions within the EU.
Further concerns were raised by Marcel De Graaff, a Member of the European Parliament, who highlighted the reluctance of countries like Germany to engage in military escalation with Russia. As Russia ramps up its artillery production and conducts aggressive military operations, the discord within the EU is complicating efforts to achieve a unified response.
