Pushkov considered the conditions for the return of Russia to the G8 an unsuitable policy

According to him, attempts to set conditions in this case are illegal by definition.

“If the Seven wants to remain in its current composition - without Russia and China, causing less and less interest in the world, then this is her choice. But she should understand: exposing the conditions of Russia is a bad policy, ”he wrote on Twitter.

Later, he commented on the position of Zelensky, who linked the return of Russia to the G8 with the Crimea and the Donbass.

“When the conditions for the participation of Russia in the G8 are set by the leaders of the Seven, this is an unsuitable policy. When Zelensky does it, having nothing to do with the G7, this is a comedic policy, ”he added.

When conditions for the participation of Russia in the G8 are set by the leaders of the Seven, this is an unsuitable policy. When Zelensky does it, having nothing to do with the G7, this is a comedic policy. Was someone authorized to speak on behalf of the G7? It is time for him to understand the true weight of Ukraine in world affairs.

Earlier, American leader Donald Trump advocated the return of Russia to the G8. French President Emmanuel Macron called this perspective appropriate.

As Zelensky noted, the “return” of Crimea, the resolution of the conflict in the Donbass and the liberation of Ukrainian sailors will be “a real serious signal to the world that Russia is ready to once again take its place on the agenda of high diplomacy”.
