Russian Presidential Spokesperson Peskov announced on November 20 that President Putin will participate in the G20 summit meeting to be held online on the 22nd and give a speech. The G20 summit was held in India in September 2023 in a face-to-face format, but Putin was absent for the same time as in 2022 and did not participate online.
Iida: This will be the first time since the invasion of Ukraine that he will be participating in a major international conference where Western leaders are also invited. People say, ``Is this an appeal both domestically and internationally?''
Takahashi: When we held the event in India, we didn't want to appear even online. It seems that participation will be online this time, but which country will be the chairperson?
Iida: India will hold the G20 Presidency this year (2023).
Takahashi) There must be some meaning in participating this time.
Iida) Since he has been prosecuted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), ICC member states have an obligation to detain him. South Africa and other countries also decided to go to the BRICS summit or not.
The situation in Ukraine has received less attention Takahashi) Recently, attention has been focused on the Middle East, and everyone has forgotten about the situation in Ukraine. When it gets cold, the mud comes out and I think it's hard to fight.
Iida: Regarding Ukraine's reversal offensive, it has been pointed out that even in Europe, it is not going well.
Takahashi) It's clear that the situation is close to a stalemate.
Iida: There are also reports that there are conflicting lines, with the military saying there is a stalemate and President Zelenskiy insisting there is "no stalemate."
Takahashi) However, it is certain that the reversal offense is not going well.
