While Europe would like to see the Russian army withdraw from Ukraine, individual states have different strategies for getting to that point.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, from left, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and French President Emmanuel Macron review the honor guard at the Chancellery before a meeting of the “Weimar Triangle” group on March 15, 2024, in Berlin. The three met with the Russian war in Ukraine high on the agenda.
That proposal in particular has gotten him into trouble with his European colleagues. When Macron first unveiled it in late February, multiple European leaders came out immediately to, if not denounce it, then at least make it known that they had no interest in participating in such a scheme.

On Friday, Macron, Scholz and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk came together for a three-way summit in Berlin to hash things out. There was no joint statement after the meeting ended, and while the three leaders gave remarks during a joint news appearance, they didn’t allow questions. Nonetheless, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will no doubt smile at the outcome.
Yet the disputes among European powers can’t be wished away. While Europe as a whole — with the exception of Hungary and perhaps Slovakia, which are led by prime ministers who are sympathetic to Russia — would like nothing more than to see the Russian army withdraw from Ukrainian territory, there’s no denying that individual European states have different strategies for getting to that point.
