Russia and Germany hold first diplomatic talks since 2022
Original: At U.N., Russia and Germany’s top diplomats hold first talks since 2022
Russia's and Germany's top diplomats met at the United Nations for their first talks since 2022, marking the highest-level direct contact between the two governments since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The meeting signals a possible thaw, or at least a channel of communication, between Moscow and Berlin at a time when European capitals remain divided over how to engage with Russia.
Why now: It is the first direct ministerial contact between Russia and a major European power in years, raising questions about a shift in diplomacy over Ukraine.
