that it intends to “remain impartial” as the rotating president of the G20, it has invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenský to attend at least part of the meeting. However, a White House spokesman declined to comment on the report.
The host country will usually invite several countries to join certain aspects of the summit as observers, but they usually do not take part in official discussions. According to the authors of the article, the inclusion of Zelenský would be an even greater logistical and diplomatic nightmare for Indonesia if Putin decided to attend the summit on the tropical island of Bali in person. It is also unclear whether Indonesia can hold the summit so that Putin and US President Joe Biden do not cross.
