Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said he learned nothing new from the German foreign minister's remarks at a UN meeting, according to TASS.
Lavrov stressed that Moscow does not suffer from a lack of trust in the context of the Ukraine negotiation track, but continues to insist that "one must prove that one is capable of reaching agreements and prove that one can be trusted," while Kyiv has failed to do so, encouraged by Western representatives.
The remarks reflect continued friction between Russian and German officials over the handling of negotiations related to the war in Ukraine.
The report did not specify the exact content of the German foreign minister's earlier remarks that Lavrov was responding to.
Lavrov's comments add to a broader pattern of statements criticizing Western governments' role in the Ukraine negotiation process.
