US Invites Vladimir Putin to December G20 Summit in Miami

The meeting in New York lasted roughly 50 minutes and focused on bilateral relations and the conflict in Ukraine on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Rubio stated that both Moscow and Kyiv have shown interest in a limited ceasefire to protect energy and grain infrastructure to reduce global economic pressure, though he noted this would not end the war. The Kremlin had signaled before the talks that a broad peace settlement was not currently a priority for discussion.
