Podolyak spoke about this in an interview with BBC News Ukraine.

“I think that this (the issue of Zelensky’s presence at the summit. -

) will be decided specifically closer to the summit ... If Putin is present, then, of course, we will need to think about the need for our presence,” he said.

According to him, since the beginning of the special operation, Zelensky has never left the territory of Ukraine, but he is ready to do this for the sake of a personal meeting with Putin at the G20 summit.

Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian leader, Dmitry Peskov, said that the format for the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the G20 summit would be determined closer to the meeting.
