    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is expected to announce measures to improve German-Polish relations — including by compensating the still-living Polish victims of Nazi crimes — during a visit to Warsaw on Tuesday.

    “It is to be expected that the chancellor will announce that something will be done … for the people who suffered under German Nazi rule in Poland and who are still living and, for example, do not have adequate health insurance and experience poverty in old age,” Paul Ziemiak, the secretary general of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the country’s biggest opposition force in parliament, told POLITICO’S Berlin playbook podcast.

    With the expected announcement, Scholz aims to further improve his country’s relations with Poland after Prime Minister Donald Tusk took office last year.

    The countries’ relationship sharply deteriorated under the former Polish government, which was ruled by the populist right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party.

    Scholz is expected to announce the initiatives during a press conference alongside Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Tuesday.

    Security cooperation to deepen Germany’s support along the country’s eastern flank will be a key part of the consultations, according to a senior German official.
