The return of Russia is rejected
The president of the European Council has rejected Donald Trump's proposal to rejoin Russia to the Group of Seven, saying there are more reasons than ever to exclude Moscow.
Trump said it was "appropriate" for Russia to rejoin what was known as the G8 before being excluded in 2014 after annexing Ukraine's Crimea and then backing an anti-Kiev rebellion in the eastern Donbass industrial zone.
“A year ago, in Canada, President Trump proposed that Russia be re-annexed to the G7, and he explicitly affirmed that Russia's annexation of Crimea was partly justified. We should accept this fact. ”
“We cannot accept this logic under any circumstances.”
Germany, France and Britain refused Russian return to the group.
The United States and the European Union have also imposed sanctions on Russia for its role in the Ukraine conflict, in which about 13,000 people have been killed.
The G7 is currently the United States, Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Canada...
