US president wants Russia back in G7 - as NATO warned of 'darkest times' since WW2

Dmitry Peskovkremlin spokesman

We have repeatedly said that the group which is now called the G7 has lost much of its relevance. It brings together countries that are not now leaders in terms of growth, when it comes to various parameters,

said Peskov

I think he is on the verge of losing an allied army in the future—the Ukrainian army—and the Americans will pay for it."

Vika said

They both defend their personal interests to the last breath and are not very famous for keeping their word. These negotiations can hardly be successful from the first call."

She said

I am hopeful that the results of that meeting will be positive,

he said

I’ve decided for purposes of fairness that I will charge a reciprocal tariff. It’s fair to all. No other country can complain."

He said

I think it would have been very helpful and it still would be helpful to have Russia be a part of that mix,

he said

I don't see any way that a country in Russia's position could allow them, just in their position, could allow them to join NATO. I don't see that happening,

he said

I'd love to have them back. I think it was a mistake to throw them out. Look, it's not a question of liking Russia or not liking Russia. It was the G8,
