Late in the evening, a photo showcasing all three politicians engaging in conversation, accompanied by a message about the meeting in German, Polish, and French, was shared on the X platform by the French president.
"France, Germany, and Poland, united in our resolve to support Ukraine comprehensively and in the long run, and to ensure Russia's defeat. For our security, for Europe. Our unity is our strength," Emmanuel Macron penned.
An earlier mention of this meeting, also in the three languages, was made by the German chancellor.
"France, Germany, Poland – the Weimar Triangle, at the heart of Europe, symbolizes our solidarity. Now more than ever, the principle rings true: Our strength lies in our unity. Ukrainians can count on us," Olaf Scholz wrote.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk reflected on the meeting in an English post on the X platform, noting that "rumors of the Weimar Triangle's demise are greatly exaggerated." His post included a group photo with Scholz and Macron.
Since its establishment in 1991, the Weimar Triangle has facilitated cooperation and dialogue between Poland, Germany, and France. Initially aimed at supporting Poland's systemic transformation and EU integration, the Triangle has adapted to the shifting political landscape.
