German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, after Saturday's meeting with Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in New York, sees no reason for further talks so far. He stated that continuing contacts would only make sense if Russia were seriously prepared to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. Deutschlandfunk ↗
The approximately 20-minute meeting took place on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly's general debate. It was the first bilateral meeting between the foreign ministers of Germany and Russia since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Berlin had requested the meeting. n-tv ↗
According to statements from both ministers, no agreement emerged after the talks on issues related to ending the war. Lavrov said he heard nothing new during the conversation and repeated his criticism of Germany's stance. Wadephul, for his part, called on Moscow to step back from the dangerous path of escalation against Germany and Europe. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
The meeting sparked political debate in Germany. CDU foreign policy expert Roderich Kiesewetter criticized it and warned against Germany acting without coordination with its partners. The Social Democrats and the Greens, on the other hand, welcomed the ministers' contact. Die Zeit ↗
The conversation was also overshadowed by reports that the Russian delegation placed a document concerning the events in Bucha in front of Wadephul during the meeting. The German side viewed this as a provocation. According to Wadephul, further talks are therefore only conceivable once Russia demonstrates genuine readiness to negotiate. Tagesspiegel ↗
