before trump has promised to invite President Vladimir Putin to a meeting of the G7 in 2020, which will be held in the United States. Later, the head of France Emmanuel macron at a press conference on the results of the summit "the Big seven" has said that the leaders of the countries-participants of the meeting failed to reach consensus on the issue of Russia's return to the club. For example, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has linked the question of the restoration of the G8 format with progress in resolving the conflict in Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin had previously said that Moscow considers any useful contacts with the countries "the Big seven" and considers possible resumption of G8 format. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the first day of the week said that the Russian Federation never on its own initiative did not raise the question about his return in the G8 and about what did not ask. Press Secretary of the President Dmitry Peskov has noticed that for the capital of Russia returning to the G8 is not an end in itself and it is not going anyone to impose their participation in this format.
The format of "Big eight" has existed since 1998. In 2014, he was reduced to the G7 when the background of events in Crimea, the members of the club decided not to go to the next summit in Sochi and gathered without Russia in Brussels. Western countries accused the Russian Federation of interfering in the Affairs of Ukraine and introduced punishment. Moscow retaliated, many times, rejected all accusations and claimed to talk to her in the language of penalties is counterproductive. Over the last period of time in the West more and more often we hear opinions about the need for cancellation of penalties against Russia.
