German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul met his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in the first meeting of the two countries' top diplomats since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Defending the talks, Wadephul said 'you have to negotiate with opponents', arguing that diplomacy must remain open even with adversaries. The meeting has drawn attention as a notable diplomatic signal between Berlin and Moscow.

Why now: It is the first direct meeting between the German and Russian foreign ministers since the start of the war in Ukraine, a significant diplomatic shift.
