According to RIA Novosti, the minister noted that she would not want to give "false hopes" about the imminent end of the conflict.
According to Lambrecht, Berlin needs to make sure that Ukraine is able to "hold out in the next months of hostilities."
Earlier, Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin said that Moscow was not conducting informal negotiations with Kyiv on a cessation of hostilities due to the "stubborn position" of the Kyiv authorities.
