According to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the Easing of the visa regime for Ukraine and Georgia from the European Union is now impossible. "The easing of the visa regime can be only In the performance of all necessary conditions for this. The EC presented a report that Ukraine and Georgia has made sufficient efforts in this matter, however, these efforts remain insufficient for the situation in General has been improved, "he said, reports RIA" Novosti ". Also the German Chancellor said that "as long as Russia does not recognize the foundations of international law and acts accordingly" its return to G8 impossible." Russia will not attend the G7 conference in Ellmau, because today we are aware of the G7 as a Union of shared values, " said Merkel. Remember, the official authorized White house Josh Ernest 12 may Also said that North America until I see opportunities to return Russia to the " Big eight ". On its part, German foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said that the international community considers it possible to create conditions for taking Russia back to the G8, but the path there is through the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict. Recall, on 24 March 2014 the leaders of the "seven" on the sidelines of the nuclear security summit in the Hague has suspended the operation of the "eight" and refused from participation in the meeting of the G8 in Sochi. Instead of this, the leaders of the "sevens" met without Russia in Brussels. This decision was made on the background of the Crimean events. Now in the group of seven includes the following countries: Germany, USA, Canada, Japan, France, UK, Italy. For its part, the Russian foreign Ministry Sergei Lavrov said on this issue that the Russian Federation no one was excluded from the G8, because "eight" is just a club, which brings together leaders of major countries to discuss issues of mutual interest, and not some kind of structure, where you can kick " and no procedural mechanism of the exception does not happen. Review the President's press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, the discussion of global issues at the conference G7 without Russia hardly has a chance to be effective. This Peskov said that the head of Vladimir Putin not waiting for an invitation to the summit " the big seven ". Remember, the G7 summit will be held June 7-8 at ELMAU castle in the Bavarian Alps.
