German and Russian foreign ministers meet in New York
The first meeting between German Foreign Minister Johann Vadevel and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov since the start of Russia's war on Ukraine took place on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The meeting lasted over 20 minutes in complete secrecy, during which both sides conveyed firm messages. Berlin requested the meeting according to the German narrative, while Moscow prepared for direct talks despite conflicting details. Vadevel emphasized the necessity for Moscow to stop escalating against Germany and Europe, and called for an agreement with Ukraine on grain exports via the Black Sea to support global food security. Germany linked the improvement of relations to Russia ending its war on Ukraine and contributing to a stable security system. Meanwhile, tensions between the two countries increased after accusations and escalating political coldness, with Russian threats of military responses against Germany. Although no tangible results were announced, the meeting reflects both parties' desire to keep communication channels open amidst escalating international tensions.
