Russia's participation in the Group of Eight (G8) was not full membership, President Vladimir Putin told reporters in New Delhi. "They (Western countries. — Kommersant) once included us in the G8, I've already said this, it was not full membership. I saw all of this perfectly well, although all the words were spoken correctly," Mr. Putin said. Russia has been a member of the G8 since 1997. In 2014, a meeting of the group's heads of state was scheduled to take place in Sochi, but several months before that, Russia was expelled from the G8. The reason was Crimea's incorporation into Russia. Vladimir Putin stated that he does not want Russia to return to the G8. Subscribe to Kommersant in MAX | in Telegram
FWD from Russia in Canada: Comment by Russian Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov to the Canadian news agency The Canadian Press in connection with a number of statements by Canadian Prime Minister Michael Carney (Ottawa, September 3, 2026) I have to correct Prime Minister Michael Carney. Russia was, is and remains a member of the G20. As for the fate of the G8 format, it ceased to exist in 2014. Let me remind you of the background. In 2014, Moscow chaired this association. After the reunification of Crimea with Russia, the remaining seven members decided to leave the G8 format for political reasons. In other words, they excluded themselves. The G8 no longer exists. And it's for the best. We have no interest in restoring it. In contemporary international affairs, the most influential organizations are new types of organizations like the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS, as well as the aforementioned G20. The G7, however, has long since become a "paper" format that exists solely for its own sake, and its former glory has no impact on contemporary international relations. That's the reality.

What would make this resolve YES?
This market will resolve to "Yes" if Russia officially rejoins the Group of Seven (G7) by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
If the title of the group changes (e.g., to "G8"), this market will still resolve to "Yes" so long as that group remains functionally similar to the G7.
A formal rejoining must be acknowledged by a consensus of G7 member states to qualify for a "Yes" resolution.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from G7 member states, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
