The United States has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to the G-20 summit in Miami in December, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirming the invitation and expressing hope for his attendance. Rubio stated in New York that the summit presents a good opportunity for Putin to engage not only with President Donald Trump but also with other world leaders. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he is ready to attend and speak with Putin if invited. Russia remains in conflict with Western-oriented G-20 members over its war in Ukraine and has recently focused more on the BRICS alliance. Putin last met Trump bilaterally in August of the previous year, and the US sees itself as a mediator in the ongoing war.
