German Foreign Minister calls for dialogue over Ukraine crisis
The Xinhua reported that German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on Thursday called for dialogue to de-escalate the situation around Ukraine.
Baerbock said at a joint press conference with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken: "This is about nothing less than the preservation of the European peace order. It is existential for us."
She said: "We both agree that the only way out of the crisis is a political path, and it is a path that means we engage in dialogue."
Baerbock said that the Normandy format is of great importance in resolving the Ukraine crisis.
As part of ongoing efforts to resolve the situation, the German minister announced a joint trip to Ukraine with French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian in the near future. She said they will do everything they can to "breathe fresh life into the format."
