Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he is ready to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit in Miami, according to Sky TG24. Zelensky framed the possible encounter as a chance to take decisions, Italian outlets reported.
The Kremlin responded that if Zelensky wants to see Putin, he should come to Moscow, according to ANSA and Il Fatto Quotidiano. Separately, the Kremlin said Putin's participation in the Miami G20 has not yet been discussed, Il Sole 24 ORE reported.
The exchange leaves the two sides publicly far apart on where any talks would happen. Zelensky's offer points to the G20 setting in Miami; Moscow's reply points to the Russian capital. No meeting has been confirmed, and the Kremlin's comments indicate Putin's attendance at the summit is itself still undecided.
The statements came as fighting continued. The Russian city of Togliatti, described by AGI as the "Russian Detroit," was hit, the outlet reported. No further details on that strike were available in the source material.
What to watch next: whether the Kremlin confirms Putin's attendance at the Miami G20, and whether either side shifts position on a venue for direct talks.
