Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed openness to meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin during the upcoming G20 summit in Miami, according to a report by BFM S.C with AFP. In an interview with the German channel Deutsche Welle, Zelensky was asked if he would be willing to meet Putin at the G20, which is scheduled for December, provided both leaders are invited. He responded positively, indicating a readiness to engage in dialogue with Russia’s leader. Zelensky’s remarks come at a time when diplomatic efforts to resolve the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia are gaining momentum. The G20, an international forum that brings together leaders from the world’s largest economies, is seen as a potential platform for high-level discussions on global issues, including the war in Ukraine. During the interview, Zelensky emphasized the importance of such meetings, stating, “Yes, of course. We must come. We must meet, talk and make decisions.” His comments suggest a willingness to engage in direct negotiations with Putin, despite the deep divisions between the two nations over the war and other issues. The possibility of a meeting between Zelensky and Putin has sparked interest and speculation, as it could mark a significant step toward de-escalating tensions. However, it remains to be seen whether Putin will accept an invitation to attend the G20 and, if so, whether he would agree to meet with Zelensky.
