Zelensky eyes face-to-face talks with Putin at Miami G20

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he’s ready to travel to the Miami G20 summit to meet Vladimir Putin in person, arguing Kyiv’s leverage is growing as Russia suffers heavy battlefield losses. Moscow has not confirmed Putin’s attendance, and Kremlin briefings have suggested talks would require Zelensky to come to Moscow, making a direct encounter at the December summit in Miami a potential rare opening for negotiations amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
