Decision on Ukrainian leader's participation to be made by US head

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the final decision on whether Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will be invited to the December G20 summit, which will take place in Miami, must be made by US leader Donald Trump.

Rubio made these comments following the meeting of G20 foreign ministers.

«Це зустріч на рівні лідерів, і рішення щодо цього має ухвалити президент. Я б цього не виключав, особливо якщо в результаті його (Зеленського, – ред.) участі може статися щось позитивне, але сьогодні я не маю жодних оголошень з цього приводу» (This is a leaders' level meeting, and the decision on this must be made by the President. I would not rule it out, especially if something positive could result from his (Zelensky's, – ed.) participation, but today I have no announcements on this matter), – emphasised the head of the US State Department.

Assessment of the situation regarding the peace process

In addition, Marco Rubio noted that Russia's war against Ukraine is currently not at the stage of a peaceful settlement.

«Я не знаю, чи можна досягти миру в Україні шляхом переговорів. Саме це ми намагаємося з’ясувати. Не думаю, що хтось із присутніх тут стверджує, що ми перебуваємо на межі врегулювання» (I do not know whether peace in Ukraine can be achieved through negotiations. That is exactly what we are trying to find out. I do not think anyone present here claims that we are on the verge of a settlement), – he added.
