Zelensky Says He Is Open to Meeting Putin at G20 Summit in Miami
Ukrainian president signals willingness for face-to-face talks with Russian leader, but Kremlin has not confirmed Putin's attendance and insists Zelensky travel to Russia instead.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he would be willing to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin at the upcoming G20 summit in Miami, according to a report by France 24.
Zelensky's comments raise the possibility of a direct encounter between the two leaders on the sidelines of the international gathering, though such a meeting would depend on Putin's participation in the summit.
The Kremlin has not confirmed whether Putin will attend the G20 summit in Miami, France 24 reported. Russian officials instead demanded that Zelensky travel to Russia for any talks, rather than meeting at the multilateral event.
The differing positions underscore the ongoing uncertainty over whether direct talks between the two leaders could take place, and where such a meeting might be held.
No further details were provided regarding the timing of the G20 summit or any additional conditions set by either side for potential negotiations.
