Why was Russia expelled from G8(Now G7)?
Russia was expelled from the G8 in 2014, following its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. The G7 (the other seven members of the G8) condemned Russia’s actions as a violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and suspended Russia’s participation in the G8 as a result. The G7 also imposed economic sanctions on Russia and called on it to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty. The annexation of Crimea was widely seen as a violation of international law, as well as a threat to the stability and security of the region. The G7 member countries also criticised Russia for supporting separatist rebel groups fighting in Eastern Ukraine.
Russia continues to deny the accusation, instead, it argues that it had to act in that way to protect the ethnic Russian population from violence and discrimination, but the international community regard this annexation as a land grab, as well as a violation of fundamental principles of the international order such as respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty of nation-states.
What is G8, or Group of Eight?
The G8, or Group of Eight, is a forum for the governments of eight of the world’s largest advanced economies, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and Japan. The G7 was established in 1975, but Russia was expelled from the group in 2014. Since then, the G7 hold an annual summit meeting to discuss and coordinate policies on a wide range of international issues.
