Details: Asked why Russia was invited to the G20 summit, but Ukraine was not, Kuleba answered "because Russia is in the G20, unfortunately. And secondly because India and the Russian Federation are quite close partners."
More details: Apart from that, Kuleba added: "We do not know for sure that Putin will go there."
Answering what steps Ukraine intends to take to get to the G20 summit, Kuleba said that "there is a dialogue with India, there is a level of communication".
Quote: "A representative of India participated in the last meeting in Saudi Arabia, as did a representative of China, which made the Russians very angry. We are working on, let's say, a certain format of interaction with the G20 so that Ukraine's voice is heard there."
More details: Kuleba also assured that Ukrainian partners will not conduct negotiations regarding Ukraine "without coordinating every position, every element with Ukraine".
Note: The G20 summit in Delhi is scheduled for 9-10 September. Ukraine received an invitation to the last G20 summit in Indonesia. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented the peace formula to the meeting participants for the first time via video call.
Previously: On 16 August, Mykola Tochytskyi, Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, reported that Ukraine and its partners are working to get Ukraine invited to the Group of Twenty (G20) summit in India in September.
Background: The G20 meeting that took place in India ended without a joint communique, as Russia and China did not agree with the wording regarding the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine that was acceptable for others.
