Merkel: Russian Return to G7 'Unimaginable' for Now

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Thursday a return of Russia to the Group of Seven major industrialized nations is "unimaginable" as long as it flouts international law in Ukraine.

"As long as Russia does not commit itself, and act according to, the fundamental values of international law, a return to the G8 format is unimaginable for us," Merkel, who hosts a G7 summit next month, told parliament.
