the plans of an American President Donald Trump, the G7 summit this year to include additional participating States, and Russia to invite, said Maas: “Russia can self-deliver the largest contribution to the fact that such doors be re-opened. G7 and the G20 are two reasonably well-matched formats, we need a G11 or G12.“
at the moment, the relationship “in many of the Dossiers to be” difficult. “But we also know that we need Russia to solve conflicts such as in Syria, Libya and Ukraine. This will not go against Russia, only with Russia,“ said Maas.
