MOSCOW, June 13. /TASS/. Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has commented on the joint communique of G7 countries on relations with Russia, pointing out that Russia’s predictability has been confirmed for years and the issue lies with the G7 countries.

"The G7 countries approved the joint statement where, in addition to the traditional call on Russia to stop the destabilizing behavior, there is one interesting aspect. The [Group of] Seven expressed interest in ‘stable and predictable relations’ with Russia," she wrote on her Telegram channel on Sunday.

"Earlier, they stated that Russia should be more stable and predictable. Now this task is considered to be the sphere of joint relations, that is, depending on all sides. Taking into account that our predictability has been confirmed by years and actions, now it’s the [Group of] Seven’s turn who are not as strong in this sphere," the diplomat stressed.
