 Angelina Timofeeva. It is regrettable that the Russian Federation will not be attending the G7 conference in Germany, told reporters in Berlin on Tuesday, President of the Federal Association of German industry, Ulrich Grillo.
"It is regrettable that the Russian Federation will not be present at the conference. However, the G7 is a very powerful media platform that brings together partners, friends with the same values, " said Grillo. At the same time, he believes that in the situation with Ukraine, Moscow has moved away from international legal norms ".
"If Russia will comply with the rules of the Minsk agreements, will behave in the framework of international legal norms, it will return to the negotiating table "seven", says Grillo.
The summit of the G7 countries will be held June 7-8 at ELMAU castle in the Bavarian Alps.
