Russia and Germany hold foreign minister talks in New York, the first since before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Both sides use the meeting to press their respective positions on the war.
Russia’s foreign ministry says Germany acts as Ukraine’s main sponsor, portraying German support as contributing to the conflict. Germany and other European governments have previously argued that their assistance to Ukraine is aimed at defending sovereignty and supporting Ukraine’s efforts to resist Russian aggression, and the meeting reflects those continuing disagreements.
Outlets largely report the same core facts: the meeting takes place in New York, it is the first of its kind since the 2022 invasion, and Russia publicly raises the claim that Germany is a key backer of Ukraine. Beyond that, coverage emphasizes different aspects of the dispute rather than any shared outcomes or agreements from the talks.
