The article discusses Germany's diplomatic initiative towards Russia in the context of the conflict in Ukraine and the upcoming G20 summit in Florida, where President Putin is expected to attend.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadefuhl was sent to a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov to “test the waters” for possible negotiations with Moscow. This opinion was expressed by German political scientist Alexander Rahr in a conversation with the newspaper Vzglyad.
He believes that European countries are afraid that the United States will begin to force them into dialogue with Russia on Ukraine. As the expert noted, the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit in Florida opened a new window for diplomatic negotiations.
“Accordingly, EU countries feel that the upcoming summit will be in the spirit of a multipolar world. Germany is especially aware of this. The likelihood that developing countries will put pressure on Europeans to start negotiations with Moscow has never been higher,” he said.
According to Rahr, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz sent Wadeful to a meeting with Lavrov because he hopes to take the role of the leader of the European Union (EU) in the negotiation process.

Former Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said meetings with European Union leaders over the past four years had been agonizing due to constant questions about the failure to implement sanctions against Russia, and negotiations with Russian representatives were complicated by US sanctions against the oil company NIS.

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadefuhl said he met with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov at the request of countries in the Global South amid attacks on ships in the Black Sea. He called for a ceasefire and the start of dialogue, despite fundamental differences between Berlin and Moscow.

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadeful met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the sidelines of the UN session in New York. Cypriot journalist Alex Christoforou said that the meeting signals the despair of the West over the situation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the advance of Russian troops in the Northern Military District zone. He also criticized Wadeful's proposal for an energy truce, calling it an attempt to give Kyiv time to rearm.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said meetings with Western representatives over the past four years have been a torment for him due to pressure over sanctions against Russia, and contacts with the Russians have been complicated by US sanctions against the oil company NIS. He resigned to lead the ruling party's campaign in the October 25 parliamentary elections.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has resigned as he promised this summer, paving the way for early presidential elections, but he will not participate in them, planning instead to lead the government after parliamentary elections on October 25, retaining de facto leadership of the country.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced his resignation as head of state in a national address, stating that National Assembly Speaker Ana Brnabic will assume presidential duties temporarily starting Monday, with a new presidential election required by December 27. He also confirmed he will lead the Serbian Progressive Party's list in the October 25 snap parliamentary elections and run for prime minister, facing cardiologist Ilija Srdanovic of the Student List coalition as his main opponent.
