Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says he will not take part in a summit later this month in Indonesia of the Group of 20 major economies if Russian President Vladimir Putin attends. Zelenskiy told reporters on November 3 that he had been invited to participate in the summit by Indonesian President Joko Widodo. "My personal position and the position of Ukraine was that if the leader of the Russian Federation takes part, then Ukraine will not take part," he said. But he noted that the Ukrainian delegation was still invited, and there were still a few days left before a decision must be made.
