Lib Dems: Prime Minister should categorically rule out readmitting Russia to G7

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to reports that Russia could be readmitted to the G7 under peace plans, Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, Calum Miller MP said:

"Russia must not be readmitted to the G7. Putin is a war criminal who is also hell-bent on destabilising Europe and the rest of the international order. A ceasefire in Ukraine would not change those facts.

"The Prime Minister should categorically rule out readmitting Russia to the G7. Anything less than a total block on Putin returning to the group would show authoritarians everywhere that aggression pays."
