🇺🇦🇷🇺 Zelensky proposes meeting Putin at G20 summit in Miami in December 2026, Deutsche Welle reports.

Zelensky said he wants to come to the summit in Miami in December if the Russian president also attends.

"Yes, of course. We must come. We must meet, talk, and make decisions," Zelensky said.

The Kremlin has not yet said whether Putin will go to Miami. The Russian president has not personally attended a G20 summit since 2019. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov earlier said Putin does not need a separate personal invitation to attend the summit.

Zelensky also said his priority is achieving a "mutual halt to strikes on energy infrastructure and shipping" — in other words, buy time to rearm and keep his own energy grid from getting wrecked in response to his 40-day drone campaign at the start of the summer.

As a reminder, Putin has refused to meet Zelensky anywhere except Moscow. The Kremlin also rejects the idea of an air and sea truce, as well as a ceasefire along the front line, saying it is ready to end the war only on condition that Ukrainian troops withdraw from Donbass.

The G20 summit will take place December 14–15 at the Trump National Doral Miami golf club, chaired by Trump; Ukraine is not currently even on the list of invited countries.
