At one point, there was a heated argument between the German chancellor and the Polish president, according to the Financial Times. Mr. Scholz is said to have reacted emotionally to Mr. Duda's proposal to hand over Russian state assets frozen in Europe to Kiev. We are talking about 260 billion euros held in European financial institutions.
Did Scholz fight with Duda? He is said to have “growled” at him across the table.
The ideas spoken by our President are supported by the current governments of the United States and the United Kingdom. However, France, Italy and Germany strongly oppose it. – You don't understand how this will affect the stability of our financial markets. – According to the paper – Mr. Scholz is said to have “screamed” at Mr. Duda across the table.

The prime minister continued to vent his anger by pointing out the difference in currencies between Warsaw and Berlin. – You don't even use the euro! – he exclaimed, as reported by the Financial Times. According to information obtained by the newspaper, the German politician's reaction came as a considerable surprise to other participants at the meeting in Brussels.
War in Ukraine. Europe awaits the arrival of Donald Trump
The coming months may be crucial for the future of the Ukraine war. Kiev and its European allies are waiting for Trump to act. Before the U.S. presidential election, Trump asserted that he could end the conflict caused by Russia in one day with a phone call.
There is no indication that the Kremlin has a similar opinion, and Kremlin representatives say that the special military operation, which they call a war, will end only if Russia's goals are completely achieved. Therefore, experts say that the peace agreement proposed by President Trump could be very disadvantageous for Kiev authorities.
There is also the possibility that Ukrainian territory could be lost to Moscow. As the FT points out, the dispute between Scholz and Duda, in the context of the upcoming start of the new US president's term, is evidence of the growing rift between Ukraine's European allies.
