German Foreign Minister Widpole says that European politicians will not take a group photo with Lavrov: I am currently assuming that there will be no general family photos at all. In any case, there will be no photo where our European partners will be caught together with Mr. Lavrov. The reason is exactly the reason I talked about yesterday: normal relations with Russia will not be possible. All disagreements must be discussed directly at the negotiating table. This is why this meeting is so important.
