Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he would be willing to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit in Miami in December if both leaders were invited. In an interview with Deutsche Welle, Zelenskyy responds affirmatively when asked whether he would travel to Miami if Putin were present.
Zelenskyy also links the idea of a meeting to Ukraine’s position for negotiations, saying the focus should be on practical outcomes rather than exchanging rhetoric. Multiple outlets cite Zelenskyy’s view that the result of any direct talks would matter more than the words used by the two leaders. Several reports describe his stance as ready for direct discussion should Putin attend.
Across the coverage, the main difference is emphasis: some outlets highlight Zelenskyy’s willingness to “meet, speak and make decisions,” while others stress Ukraine’s negotiating strength or the need for concrete results. All accounts attribute the remarks to the same Deutsche Welle interview and place the proposed meeting in the context of renewed diplomatic efforts around the G20 summit.
