The ambassadors of Germany, France and the United Kingdom arrived at Russia's Foreign Ministry around midday on Thursday for a meeting initiated by the Russian side.

That is according to the German television channel n-tv, Ukrinform reports.

"All three ambassadors are present there: those of the United Kingdom, France and Germany. They arrived just four minutes ago. There is even video footage," the channel's Moscow correspondent, Rainer Munz, said during a live broadcast.

The journalist noted that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had previously linked the planned meeting to a statement on a settlement of Russia's war against Ukraine. The statement had earlier been agreed upon at a meeting in London attended by the leaders of Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Ukraine. According to Munz, Lavrov described the plan as an "insolent demand for Russia's capitulation."
