VIENNA, September 27 - RIA Novosti. The Russian permanent representative to international organizations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, called the decision of German Foreign Minister Johann Wadeful to make Berlin's diplomatic efforts dependent on Russia's position on negotiations in Ukraine very strange.
On Saturday, at the UN, at the initiative of the German side, a meeting was held between Wadeful and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Lavrov said that he expected something interesting from the meeting with his German colleague, but did not hear anything new from him.
After the meeting, Wadeful posted a message on the social network X, at the end of which he noted that Germany would resort to diplomacy if Russia “seriously begins negotiations” aimed at achieving sustainable peace in Ukraine.
“This last sentence is very strange. Usually the Minister of Foreign Affairs and his department should engage in diplomacy regardless of Russia’s position,” Ulyanov wrote in response to Vadeful’s post.
