European leaders 'quarreled' over Ukraine.

The German chancellor mediates in the conflict between Italy and France

Friedrich Merz, the Chancellor of Germany, decided to take on the role of diplomatic mediator in the dispute between Italy and France due to the absence of the Italian Prime Minister at important international events. The conflict arose after Giorgia Meloni was ignored in invitations to meet with the President of Ukraine and phone calls with Donald Trump.

The dispute arose after Meloni was not invited to the meeting of European leaders with the President of Ukraine and the subsequent phone call with Donald Trump.

The President of France made loud accusations against the Italian Prime Minister regarding the dissemination of false information about the reasons for her absence from meetings with leaders of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Poland with Volodymyr Zelensky. Merz tried to resolve the conflict in a meeting with Meloni, emphasizing the importance of including Italy in Europe's peace initiatives to resolve the situation in eastern Ukraine.

'We must not allow ourselves to be divided,' said Merz.

The Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany emphasized that there is no 'first or second echelon' of member countries in the European Union and spoke about the EU's priorities regarding Ukraine.
