If you have 27 different countries and you go to the summit without any idea, without any concrete proposal, you will not reach anything. So, his idea was to make a proposal that one can follow, and he hopes that they did, and it was 50-50. But, at the end, the problem in my eyes is not that the Chancellor made a proposal.

As long as they have their hand on the frozen assets, and they will keep frozen until the war ends, they are sitting [at] the table because, like [DW Chief Political Editor] Michaela [K\u00fcfner] said before, the Americans are calculating with these \u20ac200 billion because they want to build a recovery fund, and they want to make business in the reconstruction of Ukraine after a war, and without the money, they hardly can do it.<\/p>\n<p>For more news go to: http:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/<\/p>\n<p>Follow DW on social media:<br \/>\n\u25baInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baTikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/deutschewellenews\/<br \/>\n\u25baTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/dwnews<\/p>\n<p>F\u00fcr Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/dwdeutsch<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Goffart, Journalist, WirtschaftsWoche He&#8217;s driven by his opinion that you need leadership in Europe.
