Russia's return to the G-7 is impossible in the near future. This was emphasized by the new Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany Analena Burbock before the DPA agency.
"It is currently impossible to predict when Russia will be able to return to the G-7, and the current escalation in relations does not make the situation any easier," Burbock told the DPA.
She also called "very painful" Russia's decision to "exclude itself from the group" over Crimea's accession to the country.
The G7 is a group of economically developed countries that includes Britain, Germany, Italy, Canada, the United States, France and Japan. The main goals are to find solutions to global political and social problems. It existed in a format of seven countries in the period 1976-1997. After the annexation of Crimea by Russia, it became known as the Group of Eight. In March 2014, as a result of the events in Ukraine and the ensuing crisis in relations between the Russian Federation and the West, Moscow was excluded from the format.
