“Putin’s Invitation Hangs in the Balance: Will He Attend the G20 Summit in Brazil?”

French President Emmanuel Macron announced that Vladimir Putin has been invited to the G20 summit in Brazil, but only if all countries agree. Macron emphasized the purpose of the G20 as promoting peace and global prosperity. However, Putin’s attendance at previous summits has been controversial due to disagreements over Russia’s actions in Crimea. The question remains whether Putin will be invited to future G20 and BRICS summits. Brazilian President Lula initially planned to invite Putin to the 2024 G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro for security reasons, but later changed his stance due to a lack of security guarantees from Putin.
