“Of course. We have to go. We need to meet, talk, and make decisions,” Zelenskyy said when asked whether he would travel to Miami if Putin also attended.
He added that the outcome of any talks would be decisive. “It’s not about words. What I say to him or what he wants to say to me doesn’t matter. Results are what count—period,” Zelenskyy stated.
The Kremlin has not confirmed whether Putin will take part in the Miami summit. The Russian leader has not attended a G20 meeting in person since 2019.
In August, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov took part in a G20 ministerial meeting in Asheville, North Carolina, at the invitation of the United States—a move that drew criticism from European delegations. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Siluanov’s participation reflected the need to maintain dialogue with Russia to help end the war against Ukraine.
Earlier on Saturday, Marat Berdyev, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s special representative for the G20, wrote on Telegram that officials from Russia’s energy, foreign affairs, and natural resources ministries would attend the G20 energy ministers’ meeting scheduled for September 14–16 in Houston.
