By Reuters Sep. 12, 2026 Sergei Bobylev / TASS Moscow has yet to decide whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will travel to the G20 summit in Miami in December, Interfax reported, citing Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. "We don't know yet whether we'll be going to Miami," Peskov said. Earlier on Saturday, Kremlin foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov said the possibility of Putin attending the summit "has not even been discussed" in Moscow. In April, the Kremlin said Putin could travel to the G20 summit after U.S. President Donald Trump suggested his attendance would be very helpful.
