"Everyone needs to understand that there is no use trying to exert pressure on us"

During the previous decades, on the surface, everything looked so decent — because, you know, the G7 was turned into the G8: thank you, we were invited! But you know what was truly happening? Because I saw that firsthand. See, you come to the G8 [summit], and it becomes clear from the outset that before the G8, the G7 had a separate meeting, and they had some separate conversations, and they discussed Russia. Everyone needs to understand that there is no use trying to exert pressure on us, but as for coming to an agreement with due regard for the mutual and legitimate interests of one another, this is something we have always been ready for.
