Russia should remain represented at the G20 despite its invasion of Ukraine

An ongoing armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine that was sparked with Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and escalated into a full-scale invasion in February 2022, resulting in widespread casualties, displacement and significant geopolitical consequences for Europe and the world.

The United States invited Vladimir Putin to attend the December G20 summit in Miami, where another Trump-Putin meeting would be possible. Russia expressed appreciation and said it would consider the invitation, but Putin's attendance and a bilateral summit remain unconfirmed.
