## Key Points

- Trump stated that he would gladly invite Zelenskyy to the G20 summit in Miami and sees no problem with it
- On October 31, Secretary of State Rubio reported that the final decision on the invitation rests with the US president, and no such decision had been made at the time
- The G20 summit is scheduled for December 14–15 in Miami; the US previously invited Putin, and Zelenskyy proposed a meeting with him, which the Kremlin chief rejected
- Rubio suggested that Trump and Putin could meet in a matter of weeks, including at the APEC summit on November 18–19 in China

US President Donald Trump has stated that he will invite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the G20 summit in Miami. According to him, he sees no problem with this. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing a post by the Rapid Response 47 account on the social network X.

### "No problem": Trump's response to journalists

During a press briefing, journalists asked whether Trump would invite Zelenskyy to the G20 summit. The US leader's response was short and clear: "I would... yes, I would love to. No problem," said the head of the White House. The statement came amid active preparations for the G20 summit scheduled for December 14–15 in Miami.

### Rubio: The final decision rests with the president

Earlier, on October 31, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed at a press conference in Atlanta that the issue of inviting Zelenskyy remains open. "I wouldn't rule it out, especially if something positive could come out of his participation, but today I have no announcements to make on this," Rubio stated, adding that the final decision will be made by the US president. At that time, according to him, a final decision had not yet been made.

### Context: Putin's invitation and rejection of the meeting

The issue of Zelenskyy's participation in the G20 became particularly relevant after the US invited Vladimir Putin to the event in September. Following this, Zelenskyy proposed holding a meeting with the Russian leader on the sidelines of the summit, but the Kremlin chief refused. Trump himself recently said he does not know if Putin would agree to a trilateral meeting in Miami.

### Negotiations outlook and Kyiv's position

Rubio also announced that Trump and Putin could meet in just a few weeks—potentially at the APEC summit on November 18–19 in China. Previously, Trump announced a meeting with Zelenskyy and Putin, but did not specify when it will take place or whether it will be trilateral or held in separate formats. In Kyiv, in turn, Zelenskyy stated on October 22 that if the US invites Ukraine to the G20, the country will be represented at the highest level, and expressed hope that thanks to Washington, a ceasefire agreement could be reached at the summit in Florida.
