Previously: The Indonesian authorities announced that President Joko Widodo plans to travel to Ukraine and Russia in late June.

Background:

• Indonesia will host the G20 summit on the island of Bali in November 2022.

• After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Joko Widodo did not cancel the invitation to Russian President Vladimir Putin for the summit, but invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the G20 meeting. Putin is going to take part in the summit.

• Due to the possible presence of the Russian president, the list of the participants in the summit is uncertain, although the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has spoken out against the boycott of the G20 summit, even if Putin takes part in it.

• According to the Prime Minister of Italy, Putin will not be going to the summit.
