German foreign minister urges Russia to abandon escalation in rare meeting
Original: Ukraine war briefing: German foreign minister urges Russia to abandon dangerous escalation in rare meeting
Germany's foreign minister met with her Russian counterpart in a rare face-to-face encounter, urging Moscow to abandon what she called a dangerous escalation of the war in Ukraine. The meeting stands out given the near-total breakdown of direct diplomatic contact between Berlin and Moscow since Russia's full-scale invasion, and it signals continued European efforts to keep channels open even as fighting intensifies.
Why now: Direct high-level talks between a senior Western official and Russia are rare, making the meeting notable amid ongoing escalation concerns.
