German and Russian foreign ministers hold rare talks

Original: German, Russian foreign ministers hold rare talks amid rising tensions

The German and Russian foreign ministers have held a rare direct meeting at a time of sharply elevated tensions between Berlin and Moscow. Direct high-level contacts between the two governments have been scarce since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, so the talks draw attention as a possible channel for diplomacy, even though no major breakthrough is expected from a single conversation.

Why now: Direct talks between Germany and Russia have become extremely rare since the Ukraine war, making any contact notable.
