Meloni opposes inviting Putin to G20 summit

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has publicly opposed inviting Russian President Vladimir Putin to the upcoming G20 summit in Miami. When asked by a reporter, she stated that such an invitation would send the wrong signal. Meloni argued that this is a moment for Putin to take steps forward, not for the West to take steps toward him. This stance adds a significant European voice to the ongoing debate about Putin's potential attendance, following conflicting signals from the US and Russia.
