Zelenskyy hopes for meeting with US and Russia during G20 summit

Zelenskiy said negotiators are discussing direct talks with Moscow as Washington reviews venues and seeks an energy ceasefire, with no confirmation from Russia yet.

  • On Saturday, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the United States is formulating a proposal for a trilateral summit involving Ukraine, the US, and Russia, with potential venues including the G20 summit, the Middle East, or a European nation.
  • Ukraine is in active contact with US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to plan meetings focused on securing an energy ceasefire, following substantive consultations on Friday between Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov and Kushner.
  • Earlier on Saturday, President Donald Trump told reporters he remains uncertain whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend the December G20 gathering in Miami, Florida, but affirmed he "would love to have him" participate.
  • Prospective leader-level discussions face significant diplomatic and legal complexities, as European leadership has criticized overtures to Putin citing an outstanding International Criminal Court arrest warrant. The Kremlin has rejected formal peace negotiations, asserting it intends to pursue military objectives.
  • Alternative venues in the Middle East, specifically the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, have served as neutral diplomatic conduits during the conflict. Zelensky noted that neither Washington nor Moscow has formally confirmed the summit parameters or location.
