Moscow has yet to decide whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will travel to the G20 summit in Miami in December, Interfax reported, citing Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
"We don't know yet whether we'll be going to Miami," Peskov said.
Earlier on Saturday, Kremlin foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov said the possibility of Putin attending the summit "has not even been discussed" in Moscow.
In April, the Kremlin said Putin could travel to the G20 summit after U.S. President Donald Trump suggested his attendance would be very helpful.
Commenting on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's remarks that he would travel to Miami if Putin attends and would seek a meeting with him, Peskov reiterated Moscow's long-standing position that if the Ukrainian leader wants to meet his Russian counterpart, he should come to Moscow.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
