USA say Putin and Zelensky are "very committed" to finding a peace solution, but Kremlin rejects meeting at G20 summit

Expresso13 September 2026 at 10:54

The United States stated that both the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, and the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, are "very committed" to finding a solution to achieve peace between the two countries.

The hypothesis of the two leaders meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Miami, scheduled for December, had been suggested by Zelensky himself. However, Moscow totally rejected this possibility on Saturday.

The Kremlin excluded any meeting between Putin and Zelensky at the G20 summit, making it clear that there is no disposition for a bilateral encounter in this format. Furthermore, Putin's very presence at the event is not even guaranteed.

Why this matters

This article is relevant for Portuguese-language readers interested in international politics, as it documents a significant moment in the diplomatic relations between Russia and Ukraine. The Russian refusal of a meeting on the sidelines of the G20 indicates that peace negotiations remain at an impasse, directly affecting the global geopolitical context and expectations for conflict resolution.

Fernando Alexandre may be the minister Education had been waiting for decades | By Henrique Dias Freire

This opinion article analyzes the performance of Education Minister Fernando Alexandre, praising the recovery of teachers' service time (with almost 90,000 teachers benefiting), support for relocation, and simplification of recruitment procedures, but harshly criticizing the failure to digitize this summer's exams, which forced the re-evaluation of papers and delayed the school calendar. The author concludes that the minister is "on the way" to a long-awaited change, but historical recognition will depend on the ability to transform reforms into lasting results for students.
