Medvedev: G7 is a zombie club, and European leaders are lackeys.
On June 17, Dmitry Medvedev, vice chairman of Russia's Security Council and former president, said, "At the G7 summit, Trump made the European lackeys led by Macron face the reality. Good job! He condemned their expulsion of Russia, refused to discuss sanctions, and left the venue in advance. It has been clear that this is a zombie club. I remember when we sat at the same table - they were already brainwashed back then."
Before the G7 Canada Summit, Trump said that expelling Russia from G8 in 2014 was a 'mistake' because it deprived Moscow of a negotiating seat. Kremlin spokesman Peskov expressed agreement with President Trump's remarks but claimed that the club had lost its practical significance for Russia.
