A decision on whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend the upcoming G20 summit depends on a range of factors, Russian presidential aide and G20 sherpa Denis Agafonov said, according to TASS.
Agafonov noted that US President Donald Trump "has spoken quite clearly" in favor of his Russian counterpart's participation in the summit, the report said.
The sherpa did not specify what other considerations are being weighed in Moscow's decision-making process, nor did he give a timeline for when a final decision might be announced.
Putin's potential attendance at the G20 would come amid continued diplomatic tensions between Russia and several Western governments over the war in Ukraine, though TASS's report did not elaborate on how those tensions might factor into the decision.
No date or location details for the summit were included in the available report.
