BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany and Russia have widely diverging views on the conflict in Ukraine which is a long way from reaching a solution, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Wednesday, a day after meeting President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

"We are still in a situation unfortunately where we're far from a sustainable deescalation of the conflict and further still from a political solution," Steinmeier said in Berlin after his one-day visit to Kiev and Moscow on Tuesday.
