"Group of eight" without Russia lost not only the name but also the authority, said the Vice-speaker of the state Duma Nikolay Levichev, explaining the upcoming summit in Bavaria.

"Group of eight" without Russia lost not only the name but also the authority, said the Vice-speaker of the state Duma Nikolay Levichev, explaining the upcoming Summit in Bavaria.
in the Bavarian castle ELMAU June 7-8 will meet the head of States and governments of the countries "Big seven" - Germany, USA, Canada, France, Italy, Japan and the UK. Russia, which was adopted in "seven" in 1998, with 2014 in fact excluded from participation in the meetings of the group over the Crimea and the events in Ukraine.
"we must call a spade a spade. The G7 summit in Bavaria June 7-8 - This is America and its " six ", and certainly not " big seven ". The head of the US will rant on the subject of real-world issues, and the rest of the leaders will only have to nod and smile in a body - and cameras." The group of eight "without Russia lost not only the name but also the authority," said correspondents Levichev.
in his vision, the summits of the SCO and BRICS, which will be held in July in Ufa, much more promising.
"Their main result will not be a group photo of the heads of countries, and signed contracts, real consensus that will determine not only the development of the States parties meetings at the highest level, but also by the world development in the next few years ", - said the MP.
Levichev said that the participants of the SCO and BRICS maintain the role of independent subjects of political processes." These are the countries that do not accept the world order system "of the USA and all the rest," he said.
the Deputy noted that "attempts to disregard the Russian Federation harm themselves European countries, as long as Their leaders continue to be photographed with (Barack) Obama, portraying the unity and firmness of the principles of the" free world ".
"In the European Union through the interference posed by the Washington propaganda, is breaking voice of common sense. Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder called a mistake not to invite the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin at the G7 Summit. Prime Minister of Slovakia tried to convince to cancel penalties against Russia ", - he reminded.
According to Levicheva, the leaders of many countries understand that to subjugate the Russian Federation to the dictates of Europe and the USA will not work.
The head of the Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation S. V. Lavrov said 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 mechanisms of the exception does not happen.
