His comments to TASS news agency countered those of John Sullivan, U.S. ambassador to Russia, who told RBC TV on Friday that Washington was “engaged with the Russian Foreign Ministry and with the other G7 governments about whether there is an appropriate role for Russia at the G7.” U.S. President Donald Trump has raised the prospect of Russia’s return to the group, which includes the world’s most advanced economies, after it was expelled in the wake of its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.Russia had been part the group, then known as the G8, since 1997.Ryabkov said that the absence of China from an expanded G7 summit would make it impossible to discuss international issues.

“The idea of this so-called extended G7 is flawed because it’s not clear how the authors of this initiative plan to address the Chinese factor,” he was quoted as saying.Trump in May announced he was postponing a G7 summit until September or later and expanding the list of invitees to include Australia, Russia, South Korea and India.

What does russia have to say about a club they dont belong to ? File this under useless garbage

Europe won’t have Russia there never mind China

China either accepted or not ,it is even more greater than G7 combined together!!!!

Russia and China aren’t exactly peanut butter and chocolate.

Why not? Hey Trump, maybe you should ask if Kim can get an invite too!

We will pay attention to Russian demands when it becomes part of the G7!!!!

Lol Never gonna happen

Not to include the second largest economy is ludicrous

No thanks. We're good

Perhaps it should be made a G10 with Russia, China and Australia.

China what Hong Kong move will be ignored 😡

Russia has no say.

The country kicked out is planning a plus one? Fuck that.

Russia is not even in the G7 or confirmed to be invited.

Super duper. No China without Russia and no Russia without China. G7 can even have Timbuktu and all surrogates (Canada, SK, May even try Taiwan) of the west

It was clear that after the 'extended G7' idea died its, btw very well deserved, death Russia would quickly turn it into a subject of amusement and sarcasm.

Yeah, well Russia is a nothingburger clinging desperately to China's coattails in a very pathetic attempt to remain relevant.

It’s gonna end up being the G3 if Trump has his way 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 🇷🇺 TraitorTrump TraitorInChief

If Russia tells trump to do that he will..

Putin is giving trump orders. Neither nation is in the G7 though. SenateGOP WhiteHouse realDonaldTrump HouseGOP

Fortunately they don't get a vote.

Also being a neighbour and following its communist principles makes it hard for Russia to leave the friend. A chaos in the neighbourhood could well spread in Russia.

The well cemented ties makes Russia speak what it has said about the virus spreader. The dragon is the least liked nation in the world. Its absence could pain for a while. That is bearable for the furtherance of Human Rights and a peaceful world sans viruses, expansionism.

Russia doesn't need to be part of the expanded G7 either, entry used to be EARNED not demanded.. STILL needs to be.

Why not? But how when U.S game plan to shun, isolate & destroy yellow threat China? How plot to destroy China with China right at the table? India ok bc India our errand boy in our mission to destroy China? I understand many Democrats support Trump against China! Satan at work!

What are the guiding principles of G7!!! Neither China nor Russia fit in currently. Maybe never will.

Commie China is about to be banished from the civilized world after this virus bs and their military ambitions

Russia is not dealing in good faith.

Agent 🍊 working hard for KGB

Big bro must take care of little bro, it is legit, huray to Владивосток.

Don’t forget North Korea!

how would china help, spread more viruses?

whatconstituti1 See what I mean?

Of course they’d say that
