The German government is not enthusiastic about the prospect of Ukraine joining the European Union, as it fears losing its influence in Europe because of this.. This information is reported by The Daily Telegraph..

According to the source, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz sees the strengthening of relations between the countries of Eastern Europe as a threat to Germany and France.. Active cooperation between Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic states after the start of a full-scale invasion of Russia caused serious concern among the politician. It only intensified after Ukraine was granted the status of a candidate for EU membership..

It is reported that Scholz is already promoting among the leaders of the European Union an initiative to change the voting procedure in the EU Council.. The plan is to strengthen the decision-making power of countries with larger populations. A similar position is supported by Portugal, which is also skeptical about the European course of Ukraine..

Recall that in January, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss expressed her opinion on the creation of a triple alliance of the United Kingdom, Ukraine and Poland.. Later in Kyiv, they started talking about the need to join the Baltic countries. In the United States, the initiative was supported, but in Germany and France, apparently, no.
