The Weimar Triangle, a consultation framework between France, Germany, and Poland created in the 1990s, has been recently reinvigorated, with the meetings of Foreign Ministers and Heads of Governments. Russia’s intensifying war of aggression against Ukraine, its far-reaching implications for the European security order, and developments in the United States reduced some of the previous obstacles to cooperation and increased the sense of urgency for the major continental European powers to act together. The question however remains open if the Weimar Triangle countries are both willing and able to permanently take on more responsibility for assuring security order in Europe.

Against this background, the Polish Institute of International Affairs (PISM) and the Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF) have recently published a report, based on a scenario-based workshop organized in Warsaw, which focused on charting the policy of the Weimar Triangle towards Ukraine and Russia. We would like to cordially invite you to a closed-door session to present the main findings of the report, and to discuss the recent developments in the security policies of Germany, Poland, and France and their impact for the U.S. and transatlantic relations.
