According to Morozov, after the exclusion of Russia this format “began to deteriorate”.
“I think that’s what the rest of the participants it is necessary that Russia has returned in this format. For us there are other formats for the implementation of its foreign policy and participation in international organizations: the UN, the OSCE, and many other multilateral formats, where we participated effectively,” — said the MP.
Previously, Maas has opposed the return of Russia to the G7.
He stressed that the reason for the exception has become Russia’s reunification with Crimea and the situation in Ukraine.
