【Putin's Latest Press Conference (5): Russia Never Requested to Join G7】

On November 27, 2025, in Bishkek time, Russian President Vladimir Putin answered questions from journalists during a press conference after the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit:

Russia has never requested to join the Group of Seven (G7), but was invited. The Russian Federation does not refuse contact in the form of the G7, and it is open to communication. If the U.S. peace plan for Ukraine is implemented, contact with the G7 is possible, but it is too early to talk about it now.
