German and Russian top diplomats meet for first time since invasion

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul met his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in the first talks between the two countries' top diplomats since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Defending the move, Wadephul said: "You have to negotiate with adversaries." The meeting marks a notable shift in Germany's diplomatic stance toward Moscow and is drawing wide attention and debate about whether dialogue with Russia is appropriate now.

Why now: It is the first German-Russian foreign ministers' meeting since the start of the war in Ukraine, a significant diplomatic shift.
