Who are the 8 world leaders of the g8 summit?

The G8 summit, which included eight major industrialized nations, comprised leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The group originally formed as the G7 in the 1970s, with Russia joining in 1998 to create the G8. However, Russia's participation was suspended in 2014 due to its annexation of Crimea, effectively reverting the group to the G7 format.
