What is known about the upcoming G20 summit in India

On August 10, the world media speculated that Russian President Putin might personally attend the G20 summit in India, despite the fact that on March 17, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for him.

On August 15, it became known that Russian President Vladimir Putin had been invited to the G20 summit to be held in New Delhi on September 9-10, but the list of invitees did not include representatives of Ukraine.

On August 16, Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar confirmed during a meeting with international media that Ukraine had not been invited to the summit.

It is worth noting that Ukraine received an invitation to the last G20 summit in Indonesia. At that time, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented the Peace Formula to the participants of the meeting via video link for the first time.

For reference: The Group of 20 (G20), established in 1999, consists of Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union. Together, they account for about 85% of the world's GDP, more than 75% of world trade, and approximately two-thirds of the world's population.
