Germany’s Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul described the country’s failure to secure a rotating seat on the UN Security Council as a bitter defeat. He suggested Germany’s strong support for Ukraine and Israel may have influenced the outcome, while also accusing Russia of working against Berlin’s candidacy.
