President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky emphasizes that the international community must prevent the return of Russia to the G7 until the territorial integrity of Ukraine is restored.

In a Skype interview with Canadian publication The Globe and Mail, the Ukrainian president thanked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for opposing the idea of Russia's re-entering into the G7.

"Justin Trudeau said on June 1 that there is no chance for Russia to return to the G7 until the full restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine and we are grateful for that support – and I should say that there will be no resolution if the world doesn't keep the pressure on Russia in that regard," Zelensky noted.

According to Zelensky, Ukraine in the search for peace with Russia, which is the "most tricky and difficult" task, needs its international allies to stay firmly in the course of these negotiations.
