Russia’s G20 sherpa, Svetlana Lukash, also noted that the U.S. is interested in ensuring full attendance by all G20 leaders and is preparing for the possibility of Putin’s visit.

At the same time, no final decision on the trip has been made. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the вопрос of the Russian president’s participation remains open, adding that the format of Russia’s representation at the summit will be determined closer to the event.
