Putin Has Not Decided Whether to Attend the G20 or Meet with Zelenskyy
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has not yet decided whether to attend the G20 summit and, accordingly, whether to meet with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
This was stated by Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov to Russian propaganda media.
According to Ushakov, the possibility of Putin traveling to the G20 summit in Miami has not even been discussed yet.
“Work is proceeding at the expert level; our specialists are constantly working on documents for the upcoming summit—in other words, everything is proceeding as usual. As for the possibility of Putin’s trip, this issue has not even been discussed yet,” said the Russian dictator’s aide.
Ushakov also confirmed that the Russian government’s cooperation with the U.S. side is continuing.
He added that the negotiations are taking place in a “friendly and constructive atmosphere.”
It is important to note that Ushakov’s statement came immediately after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s public appeal to Putin was published in the media.
As a reminder, Zelenskyy effectively proposed that the Kremlin leader hold a face-to-face meeting specifically during the “Group of Twenty” summit in December 2026.
U.S. President Donald Trump has not yet decided whether to invite Russia to the G20 summit, which will take place on December 14–15, 2026, in Miami.
