“It is planned that Minister Burbock will chair the meeting of the G7 foreign ministers on the sidelines of the Munich Conference,” TASS quotes German Foreign Ministry spokesman Christopher Burger at a briefing.

According to him, the main discussion will be on coordinating actions to deal with the crisis caused by the "build-up of Russian troops near Ukraine."

Earlier it was reported that the foreign ministers of the G7 countries will hold an emergency meeting this week on the situation in Ukraine.
