Russia’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov and Germany’s top diplomat Johann Wadephul hold their first face-to-face talks since 2022 at the United Nations, according to officials from both sides.
The ministers discuss bilateral relations, as well as the war in Ukraine. The Japan Times reports that the two sides address matters involving Russia–Germany ties and the conflict. The Jerusalem Post adds that the meeting takes place at the UN and cites the Russian foreign ministry, which says Lavrov and Wadephul talk about both countries’ relationship and Ukraine.
While both outlets describe the same core agenda—bilateral issues and Ukraine—each source emphasizes different sourcing: Japan Times highlights officials from both sides, while the Jerusalem Post specifically references statements attributed to the Russian foreign ministry.
