Weidepol agreed to a joint photo with Lavrov at the G20 meeting, the German press writer said the German foreign minister said that "joint photos are taken automatically" and "the content of the diplomatic negotiations is much more important." A joint photo was scheduled in the preliminary program of the G20 Foreign Minister's Council meeting, which began today in the USA, in Atlanta. At the same time, Widpole noted that Germany's relations with Russia cannot be considered normal due to the ongoing war in Ukraine and threats to European security. In 2022, at the G20 meeting, the US Secretary of State and ministers of several other countries refused to take a joint photo with Lavrov. And last month, the head of the German finance ministry, along with representatives of other EU countries, obtained the cancellation of a joint photo with Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov at the G20 meeting in North Carolina.
