US invites Russia to G20 summit at Trump's golf club
The United States has invited Russia to attend the upcoming G20 summit, which will be held at President Donald Trump's golf club, according to reports on the Ukraine conflict. The invitation comes amid ongoing efforts to end the war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine is ready to halt strikes on Russian energy facilities if Moscow spares Ukrainian infrastructure, but Russia must agree to such a "energy ceasefire." He described a meeting with Trump at the UN as "positive and productive," with both agreeing the war must end before winter. Previous negotiations between US, Russian, and Ukrainian negotiators have remained inconclusive. The US is currently working to advance the stalled talks, while Russia has rejected a battlefield pause and the Kremlin has called a meeting with Zelenskyy "impossible."
