Putin-Zelensky meeting at G20 in Miami "impossible", says Kremlin

RTP Notícias12 September 2026 at 20:10

The Kremlin considered it impossible to hold a meeting between the Presidents of Russia and Ukraine at the G20 summit, which was held in Miami, United States, in December. The statement was made by the Kremlin spokesperson in New Delhi.

The spokesperson categorically rejected the possibility of any meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky during the international event, not detailing the specific reasons for this refusal.

The Kremlin's position comes in a context of ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has lasted more than two years, making any high-level diplomatic rapprochement between the two leaders unlikely.

This is not the first time Moscow has ruled out meetings with Ukrainian representatives, maintaining its position that there are no conditions for formal negotiations as long as military operations continue.

Why this matters

The failure of a potential meeting between Putin and Zelensky at the G20 represents another obstacle to diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. This impossibility directly affects peace negotiation prospects and maintains geopolitical tension between the two countries, with global implications.
