The EU commented on Putin's possible participation in the G20 summit
Russia remains a member of the Group of Twenty (G20), and therefore has the right to participate in the meetings of this association, including at the level of heads of state. This was stated by Olaf Gill, Deputy Chief Spokesperson for the European Commission, commenting on Vladimir Putin's invitation to the G20 summit in Miami.

According to Gill, the European Union uses G20 summits as a platform to respond to global challenges, some of which are related to Russia's war against Ukraine. Therefore, the presence of the Russian leader can be used to call for an end to the war.
The European Commission representative noted that since 2022, the EU has consistently used G20 meetings to condemn Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and call for its cessation. According to him, this approach will remain unchanged regardless of who participates in a particular summit. Gill also recalled that Russia continues to attack the civilian population of Ukraine.
Previously, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed hope that Putin would attend the G20 leaders' summit, which will take place in Miami in December. Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov had already commented on the American invitation.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in turn, stated that the G20 summit in Miami could become a platform for a trilateral meeting of representatives from Ukraine, the USA, and Russia.
