The U.S. presidential frontrunner from the Republican Party John McCain has called to exclude Russia from the “Group of Eight” countries.

He made the statement while delivering his speech on foreign policy in Los Angeles. According to McCain, the world community should be sure that the G8 forum “becomes again a club of leading market democracies”. As a possible move he suggested to withdraw Russia which he described as a country which seeks revenge and replace it with Brazil and India.
