Wadephul: "Further talks with Moscow only if it is ready to negotiate"
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul believes that further meetings with Russia, after talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, only make sense under certain conditions. “Subsequent meetings only make sense if Russia is seriously willing to negotiate,” the CDU politician said during a meeting with his Dutch counterpart Tom Berendsen in The Hague, answering the question whether there should be further talks, for example between Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) and Russian President Vladimir Putin. "The reaction I just heard publicly from Mr. Lavrov does not show, at the moment, any serious willingness to engage in dialogue," Wadephul said, according to DPA. On Saturday, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the German minister met with Lavrov for about 20 minutes.

Kallas: "Wadephul-Lavrov? Shows Moscow not interested in peace"
Regarding the talks between the German Foreign Minister, Johann Wadephul, and his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, "these talks demonstrate that Russia is not at all interested in peace. Otherwise, one would not treat one's interlocutor in negotiations or meetings in this way". This was stated by the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy, Kaja Kallas, in a press conference at the end of the EU Defense Council. "Russia makes derisive comments", Kallas recalled, according to which "what is interesting, or at least important, is that there are many countries outside Europe that say: we need to talk to the Russians and then we will get a result". "Now, first of all, Russia must demonstrate that it is interested in peace by stopping attacking civilians, which it is not doing, and then it must talk to Ukraine, because the issue concerns Ukraine and Russia. Everyone else can facilitate this process, but in the end they must be the ones to reach an agreement", Kallas underlined.
Kallas: "While waiting for the Patriots, EU countries can supply Kiev with missiles from stocks"
“We have already approved procurement plans under the loan to support Ukraine, which include the purchase of Patriot missiles from US production. However, the production of the missiles takes time and Kiev needs Patriots now. One possibility is that Member States and partners will supply Ukraine with missiles from their stockpiles in exchange for a subsequent supply financed by the loan to support Ukraine.” This was said by the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas at the end of the EU Defense Council.
Kallas: "To finance Kiev loan advance or Safe funds"
"Member states have addressed Ukraine's financing needs. Many today asked to bring forward part of the €90 billion EU loan earmarked for 2027. Ukraine could also benefit from a share of the remaining funds, up to €20 billion, under the Safe Defense initiative." This was stated by the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy, Kaja Kallas, in a press conference at the end of the EU Defense Council.

Berlin: "We reiterated to Lavrov that we do not accept escalation"
The meeting in New York between German Minister Johann Wadephul and Russian Serghei Lavrov served "to signal that we are not willing to accept signs of escalation and are ready to react if necessary" together with our partners. The spokesperson of the German Foreign Ministry, Joseph Hiterseher, said this in Berlin, at the government press conference, answering questions on the bilateral agreement. "The New York forum lends itself to meetings of this kind, but in light of this conversation, which obviously lends itself to exploitation by Russia, our position has not changed." "Germany is ready to follow the path of diplomacy as soon as Russia is willing to stop the war and negotiate, but the talks showed that this willingness on the Russian side is not there.
