German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that he is ready to talk personally with dictator Vladimir Putin of Russia if he comes to the G20 summit in Miami.
During a public dialogue with residents in Hagen, a journalist asked Merz whether his meeting with Putin could take place in December. In response he said that he does not intend to rule out such a possibility if the Russian dictator attends the G20. 'The host side always has the right to invite additional heads of state and government. And, as far as we know at this moment, Trump has invited Putin... If he is there, I will not tire of seizing the opportunity to have a conversation with him,' the chancellor said. He added that it is not known yet whether Putin will be at the G20. According to him, for now the Kremlin leader has not given consent.
