Zelensky: Our participation in the G20 depends on the presence of Russia

Ukraine has bet on its participation in the G20 summit scheduled for November next year in Indonesia, with its military status in the near future, and whether Russia will attend the summit or not. “Our participation depends on the Russian Federation, whether it will be or not,” Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky was quoted by the Ukrainian news agency Interfax as saying. Indonesian President Joko Widodo, who is hosting the summit, invited Zelensky during his visit to Kyiv last week in an attempt to mediate between Moscow and Kyiv. “I told the Indonesian president that we are grateful for the invitation, but we have a security situation,” Zelensky said, expressing doubts that many countries would attend the summit if Russia decided to attend.
