  • The Kremlin says it is 'grateful and appreciative,' but Putin has not confirmed attendance and may prioritize a trip to China instead.
  • Russia's foreign minister says Moscow will not pause its war effort even as negotiations continue, undercutting hopes the summit could produce a breakthrough.
  • The move marks a reversal of Russia's diplomatic isolation and is expected to draw objections from Ukraine and European allies.

Hosting Putin, especially at Trump's own resort, wrongly legitimizes a war criminal and rewards Russia.

  • “This seems as if inviting Hitler or Stalin to any kind of meeting. But who am I fooling, the US and British leadership did meet with Stalin in Yalta and other places to divide the world, so nothing's changed”

Talking to adversaries, however distasteful, is necessary to avoid a wider war.

  • “I'm torn really. If we are going to step back from the precipice and avoid another world war, then we are going to have to start talking at some point.”

The episode reflects badly on Trump and those who supported him.

  • “People who voted for Trump after his capital riot instigation are idiots. People who voted for Trump simply because he was Republican and not Democrat are hopeless”

    • I'm a Trump supporter and Republican. You can give me your downvotes. The G20 is supposed to be a meeting between leaders from the top 20 most powerful countries in the world. Russia fits that criteria and it is important to have dialogue even if you disagree with something they are doing. Canada is still invited to the G20 even though they are…

    Addressing the UN Security Council, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov rejected any halt to Russia's campaign, accusing Europe of seeking a pause only to rearm Kyiv.

    “We are not going to have a pause in our special military operation.”
    — Sergey Lavrov
