A media report indicates that Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky are likely to attend the G- 20 summit to be held in Indonesia. If Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky travel to Bali, it will be the first time the two leaders would share a platform since the war between Russia and Ukraine began in February.

The G20 summit is scheduled to take place on November 15-16 in Indonesia's Bali.

In an interview with The National, Indonesia’s ambassador to the UAE Husin Bagis said “both have agreed (to attend)”.

“The situation isn’t easy because of the Ukraine-Russia war… We are deciding which hotels to put them up in ― one for Mr Putin and one for Mr Zelensky,” Bagis said, referring to the need to avoid tension by putting them too close together.

However, neither the Ukrainian nor the Russian governments reacted to Bagis's statement.
