Moscow, November 9, 2026 – The Europe Today: Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has cautioned against looking too far ahead regarding a possible trip by Russian President Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit in Miami.
“I wouldn’t go that far. We know that such trips always entail significant logistical difficulties and challenges,” Peskov said. He was asked by Vesti journalist Pavel Zarubin whether the Russian leader might accept an invitation to the summit following a possible meeting with his US and Chinese counterparts in Shenzhen.
No Decision Yet on Putin’s Attendance at G20 Summit in Miami
The next Group of Twenty summit will take place on December 14–15 in Doral, near Miami, Florida. Peskov had earlier told TASS that no decision had yet been made on whether Putin would personally attend.
US President Donald Trump has said he would certainly like to see Putin at the summit.
APEC in Shenzhen Comes First
Before the G20, Chinese President Xi Jinping will host APEC leaders in Shenzhen on November 18–19. Putin has not attended a G20 summit in person since 2019.
