Poland's foreign minister issued a diplomatic note to Germany officially on Monday formally demanding $1.3 trillion in war reparations for damages suffered by Poland during the Second World War. That means the issue is now officially on the table regarding Polish-German relations.

The issue of reparations may have already been discussed between Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock during her visit to Warsaw on Tuesday, although any such discussion has not yet been confirmed.

The Polish diplomatic note calls for urgent action aiming at a complex and final material settlement for the consequences of Germany's invasion and occupation of Poland between 1939 and 1945, according to Polish news outlet TVP.

According to Rau, the matter must now be discussed, and a final settlement should include ensuring that the Polish victims of the war are remembered and honored. It also calls on Germany to take measures to raise awareness among its own population about the damage done by Germany to Poland during the war.
