German govt has sympathy for US pick to lead World Bank.

Must not fall behind previous criticism of Russia at G20.

We need absolute clarity - this is a war initiated by Putin.

We need to promote private investment.

German Economy Ministry paper on sanctions evasion largely conclusive, should be implemented that way.

There is no exact figure for Ukraine's financial need.

The expectation that there will be bilateral talks with China at the ministerial level soon.

Noticeable that China has defined its own perspective on the war in Ukraine, more ambivalent than allowable in our view.
