The G8 summit traditionally included leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In its last format, the G8 was composed of these eight nations, with Russia's participation being suspended in 2014 due to its annexation of Crimea, effectively reducing the group to the G7. The European Union is also represented at the summit, making it a significant forum for discussing global economic and political issues.
