Moscow did not see Berlin's desire for dialogue following the meeting of the heads of the Russian and German foreign ministries

There is no reason to treat the meeting between Russian and German Foreign Ministers Sergey Lavrov and Johann Wadephul in New York as an expression of the German side's desire to restore full-format dialogue, said Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. "There is no reason to view this as a full expression of readiness to restore constructive and mutually respectful dialogue," Zakharova said at a briefing on Wednesday.
