🚨🇺🇸🇷🇺 Putin has been invited to the G20 in Miami, his first American summit appearance since before the invasion

Marco Rubio announced the invitation Wednesday and said Washington hopes Putin accepts, which would put the Russian president on Florida soil in December for the first in-person G20 he has attended since 2019.

Before that, both men may end up at the APEC summit in Shenzhen in November, hosted by Xi, and a Kremlin aide has floated a three-way meeting between Trump, Putin and Xi there that has never happened in history.

Rolling out the welcome mat matters more than the seating chart, because Russia was thrown out of the G8 over Crimea and has been treated as a pariah since 2022, and this invitation hands Putin the normalization he has wanted for four years before he has given up a single acre of Ukraine.

Zelensky spent his UN speech begging for tighter sanctions and warning that Putin only responds to pressure, so watching Moscow get an invitation to Miami instead tells him exactly where this is heading.
