MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Minsk accords is a 13-point roadmap to bring peace to southeastern Ukraine that was hammered out in February 2015 in the Belarusian capital Minsk with mediation by Russian, German and French leaders.
"Russia’s reentry to the G8 is entirely in [Russian President] Vladimir Putin’s hands. The agreed Minsk accords must be implemented, and then he will have his place at the table back," Mueller told in an interview with German daily Passauer Neue Presse published Thursday.
They are due to gather this June 7-8 in Germany’s Bavaria, again without the Russian leader.
Commenting on the division, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that no one has the power to banish a nation from the Group since it is an informal club bringing together world leaders to discuss issues of mutual interest.
