>Russia will not be readmitted into the Group of Seven nations as U.S. president Donald Trump has requested, German Finance Minister Joerg Kukies told Reuters in an interview.
>”The condemnation of the G7 of Russia’s war of aggression is very clear, especially on the third anniversary of Russia’s brutal attack,” Kukies said, adding that Trump’s proposal would not get the unanimity required.
>Kukies will travel on Tuesday to Cape Town for the G20 meeting of finance ministers, with the U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent staying away due to a scheduling conflict.

>”We really need to re-embark on a path of economic growth,” Kukies said. Germany “has a lot of homework to do,” he added.

It wasn’t a very practical proposal anyway, since most G7 states would still uphold the ICC arrest warrant for Putin. As they should!

Russia has absolutely no business in the G7.
The G7 is a forum for the most influential developed democratic countries to discuss world affairs. Russia is neither of those things.
If the G7 wants new members, they should invite Australia and South Korea.

Russia should not exist in its current form. There should be dozens of smaller states none with nukes or UN veto power.

Russia, north Korea, the US or other authoritarian dictatorships have no business being part of any global entity.

The US should be kicked out and then invited to Brics. I wonder how G7 would react

Russia should not be part of the G7 because its recent actions, such as the annexation of Crimea and interference in other countries, go against the values of the group, which is based on democracy, human rights and peaceful cooperation. Moreover, its domestic policies, such as the repression of the opposition, do not reflect the standards of Western democracies…and then they are butchers.
