The diplomatic note, which The Telegraph, shows that European officials were “shocked” by US statements at a number of international meetings that Russia should be invited back to the “civilized world”.
This position has questioned the preparation for the final meeting of the group in March.
“If they (USA. – Ed.) Do not recognize that it is aggression, they cannot participate,” said one of the interlocutors of The Telegraph.
Another called the US exit scenario from the Core Group “rather radical shift.” “The rewriting of history and the disagreement that not Russia has started this war is what we simply cannot and disagree,” he added.
European capitals are currently negotiating on a possible “breakdown” of a special tribunal, if the United States leaves it, says The Telegraph.
Earlier, the media reported that the US side first opposed Russia to call Russia an aggressor in a joint statement of G7, which is prepared for the third anniversary of the full -scale war of Russia against Ukraine.
Also in the US do not know whether they support the UN resolution with the condemnation of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
