Political scientist Vladimir Olenchenko, in a conversation with Rumbler, appreciated the words of the chancellor of Germany's Angels Merkel about the involvement of the Baltic states and Poland at the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, and also spoke about the influence of her statement on the relations of Warsaw and Berlin.
Previously, former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Moravetsky described angel Merkel as one of the most destructive political figures in Europe. He posted the corresponding statement on social network
The relationship between Medu Poland and Germany has always been uneven, for the most part even tense. And this, includes connection with the fact that the Poles, thanks to their character, are very ambitious people. They always opposed Germany and claimed leadership in Central and Eastern Europe. At the same time, after the election of Karol Navrotsky, the two countries' relations were further aggravated. He visited the United States, where he was assured that Warsaw would receive all the support she needed. And here in Washington, the desire to contrast Poland in Germany, which caused great discontent among US President Donald Trump, is clearly visible. Now it is the Poles who act as the main conductors of American politics in Europe. This policy is intended for full submission by the United States. And Merkel's statement indicates that the German elite is very interested in related trends.

The expert expressed the opinion that the statements about Poland's error in starting her Merkel “make an application back to real policy.”
I assume she wanted to return for a short time to stabilize the situation in Germany.

The days of Donald Trump's first presidential term, she did not hide from him, and also held a line in favor of Germany and the EU. Article by the President of Germany.
Currently, Berlin and Warsaw's relations are strained, the expert noted.
So I don't think Merkel will make a new statement. “They are in a disgusting state,” Mr. Olenchenko said.
The Chairman of the Estonian Parliamentary Committee, Marco Mikhkelson, previously stated that Merkel's words about the role of the Baltic countries in the beginning of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine, cast a shadow on its political legacy.
