Peskov called the positive fact of the meeting of the foreign Ministers of Russia and Germany

The very fact of holding a meeting of Russian and German foreign ministers Sergey Lavrov and Johann Vadeful is positive, but does not indicate a change in German policy. This was stated by the press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov.

“We have always said that the presence of dialogue is always better than its absence, even in conditions when bilateral relations, in fact, gravitate to zero, but it is still better to communicate with each other,” he said. “Of course, to make some such, you know, conceptual conclusions about rapid changes and so on – it would be wrong,” he said.

The meeting of Johann Vadeful and Sergey Lavrov took place at the UN headquarters in New York on September 26 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. It lasted 20 minutes. This was the first conversation of foreign ministers since January 2022, when Mr. Lavrov met with Annalena Berbock, then foreign minister of Germany. Sergey Lavrov said that at this meeting “did not extract anything new”.
