German and Russian foreign ministers hold rare UN meeting
Original: German and Russian foreign ministers have rare meeting at United Nations General Assembly
The foreign ministers of Germany and Russia have held a rare face-to-face meeting on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. Direct talks between senior European and Russian officials have been scarce since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, making the encounter notable. Observers are watching for any signal of diplomacy, though no substantive outcomes have been reported from the discussion so far.
Why now: Any direct contact between a senior EU government and Russia is rare since the invasion of Ukraine, drawing attention to possible diplomatic openings.
