Peskov: Russia less interested in G8

The format of the Group of 20 of the world's leading economies is more capable of having an impact on international situations than the G8 format, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

“First of all you need to understand Russia’s intentions or the lack of intentions for that, so today Russia’s interest in the G8 isn’t as much as it was before,” Sputnik cited Peskov as saying.

According to Peskov, G20 has more potential that G8.
