Originally a G8 summit was scheduled to take place in Sochi (Russia) in early June 2014 under Russian presidency. Due to the Russian Federation's violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, the G7 leaders decided, at their meeting in The Hague (Netherlands) on 24 March 2014, to meet in Brussels on 4-5 June 2014 in the G7 format instead. Since then meetings have continued within the G7 process until Russia changes course of its policy. |
