Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's meeting with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly was held at Wadephul's own request, Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said, according to a report from TASS.
Zakharova was responding to media allegations suggesting that Wadephul had effectively made a concession by agreeing to meet with Lavrov, the report said, though TASS did not specify which outlets had made those allegations.
The report did not detail the substance of the discussion between the two foreign ministers or specify when during the UN General Assembly session the meeting took place.
TASS's report did not include a direct response from the German foreign ministry to Zakharova's characterization of how the meeting came about.
