Weimar Triangle
The Weimar Triangle is an informal intergovernmental cooperation format between France, Germany and Poland, established in 1991 in Weimar. It brings together the three countries' foreign ministers and occasionally heads of government to coordinate positions on European policy, security and economic issues. After a period of reduced engagement in the 2000s, the format was revived in the 2010s, notably in response to security challenges on NATO's eastern flank.

In response, at least eight European states and the EU summoned Russian diplomatic representatives, with Poland describing the incident as state terrorism.
