German foreign minister urges Russia to abandon dangerous escalation
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 direct encounter since Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, urging Russia to abandon what she called a dangerous escalation of the war. The meeting stands out given the near-total freeze in high-level diplomatic contacts between Berlin and Moscow, and it signals continuing Western efforts to keep channels open even as fighting intensifies.
Why now: A rare direct diplomatic meeting between Germany and Russia amid the ongoing war in Ukraine is unusual and newsworthy.
