Kremlin Says Russia Appreciates US Invitation for Putin to Attend G20 Summit in Miami
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia appreciates the US invitation for President Vladimir Putin to attend the G20 summit in Miami, as the draft budget also featured on the Kremlin's briefing agenda.
Russia appreciates the invitation from the United States for President Vladimir Putin to attend the G20 summit in Miami, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
Peskov's comments came during a Kremlin briefing that also addressed Russia's draft budget, among other agenda items, though further specifics from the briefing were not detailed in the available report.
It was not immediately clear whether Putin has confirmed his attendance at the summit, or what conditions, if any, might affect his participation given the ongoing war in Ukraine and the sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and its allies.
The G20 summit brings together leaders of the world's major economies to discuss global economic and political issues. Putin's potential attendance would mark a notable moment given the strained relations between Russia and Western countries since the start of the war in Ukraine.
Further details on the draft budget discussed at the Kremlin briefing were not immediately available.
