“We have repeatedly explained the situation.

We have a valid invitation, Russia participates in all G20 formats, and as the dates of the summit approach, we will already decide how it is most expedient for us, in what format to participate, ”he said.

Earlier it was reported that the format of Putin's participation in the summit will depend on the development of the situation in the world and on the sanitary and epidemiological situation in Southeast Asia.

Meanwhile, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said she did not consider it necessary to boycott the G20 summit because of the possible arrival of Russian leader Vladimir Putin there.
