Story summary

In early September, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that President Donald Trump invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend the G20 Leaders' Summit in Miami, Florida, scheduled for December. This would mark Putin's first in-person attendance at a G20 summit since 2019 and his initial visit to the United States since Russia's invasion of Ukraine began in 2022. Rubio stated that inviting Putin presents an opportunity for him to engage with other world leaders, including Trump. The Kremlin has indicated it is considering the invitation but has not yet made a decision publicly. This move could potentially raise concerns among Ukraine and its European allies who have accused Russia of launching hybrid attacks against them recently.
