During the G7 summit, the European Union will draw the partners attention to the destructive policy of Russia, which is not a mediator but a party to the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Russia will be one of the main topics [of discussion in the foreign affairs bloc of the summit]. G7 partners share common views on Russia s subversive actions. The EU condemns Russia s illegal, provocative, and destructive actions against the EU and its member states and beyond. I emphasized this in a telephone conversation with President Putin this week.

We do not recognize and will not recognize the illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia, European Council President Charles Michel said at a press conference, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
