Russian diamonds: G7 in favor of Belgian solution

The Group of Seven (G7) – Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States – has reached an agreement in principle on a blanket ban on Russian diamonds. A ban that applies not only to raw stones, but also to the retail trade. This sanction is also defended by our country.

In the news: The meeting of the G7 – the group of seven major economic powers – ended in Hiroshima on Sunday. The countries present have been preparing new economic sanctions against Russia in recent days.
