“We believe that foreign ministers should intensify their work, taking into account the fact that time is running out on START,” the Kremlin spokesman said.

According to The Hill, earlier Trump, speaking about the need to invite Russia to the G7 format, noted that in this case it would be easier to agree on a "new nuclear pact."

In addition, Trump called the possibility of Russia's presence in the G7 a matter of common sense.

The Russian embassy in the United States agreed with the American leader that the G7 format is outdated.
