German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Polish President Andrzej Duda publicly quarreled during the summit of European leaders in Brussels.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to Hromadske.
It is reported that the cause of the conflict was frozen Russian assets. According to the publication, during the summit, Duda called on the European Union to confiscate and spend frozen Russian assets worth 260 billion euros on supporting Kiev.
However, this idea was not to the liking of German Chancellor Scholz. He noted, that Duda doesn't understand this issue.
“You don't understand how this will affect the stability of our financial markets. You don't even use the euro!” — Scholz said emotionally, addressing Duda.
As the publication noted, Scholz's harsh statement surprised European leaders. France and Italy also spoke out against Duda's initiative. However, the US and Great Britain agreed with the opinion of the Polish leader.
