Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy said on Wednesday that he had been invited to the Group of 20 (G-20) summit, which is set to take place in November.

“Had talks with [Indonesian President Joko Widodo]. Thanked for the support of [Ukrainian] sovereignty and territorial integrity, in particular for a clear position in the UN. Food security issues were discussed. Appreciate inviting me to the @g20org summit,” Zelensky tweeted.

Widodo is the current G-20 chairperson.

President Biden said last month that Russia should be removed from the G-20, a topic he said was discussed during meeting with NATO members and European allies in Brussels.

President Zelenskyy has earned much respect from the leaders of the world.

7. I think there's some sense of economic cooperation as a topic.

Perhaps one of those nations has an interest in buying some slightly used Russian tanks??
