German and Russian foreign ministers hold rare talks amid tensions
Original: German, Russian foreign ministers hold rare talks amid rising tensions https://www. aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/27/g erman
Germany's and Russia's foreign ministers have held a rare direct conversation as tensions between Berlin and Moscow remain high. German Foreign Minister Wadephul urged Russia to abandon what he called a dangerous path, but Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov dismissed the appeal. The exchange marks unusual diplomatic contact between the two governments as the war in Ukraine continues to strain relations.
Why now: Direct diplomatic contact between Germany and Russia has become rare since the invasion of Ukraine, so any high-level talks draw attention.
