Prerequisites are required to organize negotiations between Zelensky and Putin. About this Channel 24said political expert, head of the Tower Center for Public Analytics Valery Klochok.
Indonesian “false start”
The expert noted that if information about that Zelensky and Putin will allegedly participate in the G20 summit is an imperfect fact.
In Indonesia, they could talk about this with representatives of Putin and Zelensky They were promised something. I am far from the opinion that will Zelensky and Putin even be at this summit . It is doubtful that in a month something will change and the leaders of the two warring countries will meet. – explained the browser.
According to him, today there are no prerequisites for such a meeting.
“I don't see the prerequisites. Ukraine remains firmly in its positions in defending its sovereignty within the limits of 1991, and Russia still claims that the annexation it carried out is, like, legal and some kind of “referenda” were also legal. This is full of fools,” the political scientist added.

What is needed for the meeting
The analyst believes that in order for Zelensky and Putin to meet, first of all, there must be results at the front.
That is, it is a complete victory for one side or the other. Today we do not yet see a change of dispositions. There are successful counteroffensives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the South and East, in the Kherson region the situation is under our complete control. But Russia is preparing for other actions. She is not preparing for a possible meeting between Putin and Zelensky, but is increasing her combat capability . Klochok emphasized.
In his opinion, while Russia is preparing for a new offensive, there will be no talk of negotiations.
“I don’t see any prospects yet that both Zelensky and Putin will go to the summit. Moreover, Nikiforov said that the issue has not yet been resolved. . At least to keep the intrigue “This is purely a tactical political move. But so far, I don’t see any prerequisites for such a visit by Zelensky,” the observer noted.
At the same time, he noted that the President of Ukraine, during the war, never traveled outside of Ukraine .
“I doubt that he will physically go to the G20 summit, and there is no talk of ending the war before November 15 at all. Turning on online can be like today for the G7. It turns on at almost every big event, even at the last UN General Assembly. , which Zelensky will turn on at the G20 summit, and Putin will physically be there – this will not change anything,” the expert is convinced.
Russia's place in the world
The analyst said that recent UN meetings have shown that Russians are not really wanted to be seen at international meetings.
Let's remember the last SCO summit in Samarkand: Putin wants to receive a new portion of shame? I am far from thinking about it, because he is very proud. Therefore, there are doubts that he will go there . He has no friends, he is running out of weapons, he is running out of everything. What will he go with? Like who? Like a beggar for something? He already turned to anyone he could, Klochok explained.
According to him, the summit in Indonesia could testify to Putin that he can get something else, but he continues to isolate himself from the world
strong> .
The G20 is slowly closing for him. And the fact that he will not go will put the final bullet in the international sense. Absolutely no one will accept it. G20 is absolutely not about Putin . He remains the number one topic in the world, because he is like an aggressor and a terrorist, but whether they want to see him there is a question,” the observer concluded.
