Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he would attend the G20 leaders' summit in Miami in December if Russian President Vladimir Putin is also present, opening the door to their first face-to-face meeting since before Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Zelenskyy made the remarks in an interview with German broadcaster Deutsche Welle released Saturday. When asked if he would travel to Miami for talks with Putin, he replied, "Yes, of course. We have to come. We have to meet, to speak and make decisions."

The Ukrainian leader stressed that any meeting must produce concrete results rather than mere discussion. "It's not about words. What I will tell him or what he wants to tell me, it doesn't matter," Zelenskyy said. "Results matter. That's it."

The summit is scheduled for December 14-15 at the Trump National Doral Miami resort in Florida. The United States holds the G20 presidency this year.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Saturday that Moscow has not yet decided whether Putin will attend. Peskov reiterated Russia's position that any meeting with Zelenskyy should take place in Moscow.

The comments come amid renewed U.S. diplomatic efforts to revive stalled negotiations. American envoys have recently visited Kyiv and Moscow, and President Donald Trump spoke with Putin by phone this week.

Zelenskyy also noted Ukraine's strengthened battlefield position, citing heavy Russian casualties of more than 30,000 soldiers per month for limited territorial gains. He described the current moment as favorable for negotiations.

The two leaders last met in person in 2019 during Normandy Format talks in Paris. Direct engagement at the G20 could mark a significant development in efforts to end the conflict, now in its fifth year.
