The European Union opposed the restoration of the G8 with the participation of Russia to eliminate the reasons that led to its exclusion from the club, according to August 22 Reuters, citing a source in the EU structures.

Russia was expelled from the G8 in March 2014 after the annexation of Crimea — at that time she was the Chairman of the political club.

The summit of the leaders of the countries, which was planned to be held in Sochi, did not take place.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity on the eve of the summit, said that the reasons for the exclusion of Moscow "remains in force" and that any proposal to return without conditions will be "counterproductive" and "a sign of weakness."

At the end of June, the European Union extended economic sanctions against Russia for another six months.
