Details: Rubio was asked whether the Ukrainian president will be invited to the G20 summit in Miami on 14-15 December, to which Russian leader Vladimir Putin has also been invited.

He answered that the decision is up to US President Donald Trump.

Quote: "Look, that's a leaders-level meeting. That would be up to the president to decide. I wouldn't rule it out, especially if something positive could happen as a result of him [Zelenskyy – ed.] attending. But I don't have an announcement on that today."

Background:
