vg.no (Swedish)

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that Vladimir Putin has been invited to the G20 summit in Miami, stating it could offer an opportunity for talks with President Trump. Rubio made the remarks Wednesday at the UN headquarters. Rubio is meeting his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Russia has accepted the invitation, but it remains unclear whether Putin will personally attend, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying last week that Moscow had not yet decided. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed willingness to meet Putin at the summit, but the Kremlin has rejected such a meeting in Miami, insisting Zelensky must come to Moscow. Trump said Tuesday he believed Putin was willing to meet him again.
