At a meeting of G20 foreign ministers, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has called on Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to end the war against Ukraine.

"If you care about human lives, if you care about your own people, Russian children and youth, you must end this war now," Bild quotes Baerbock.

The publication notes that Lavrov was sitting three seats to the left of the German Foreign Minister.

"If Russia stopped this war now, the path to peace and justice would be wide open tomorrow," Baerbock added.
