Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he will attend a Group of 20 summit scheduled for November in Bali, Indonesia. He says he will attend virtually, if the Russian invasion continues.

Zelenskyy made the remark on Friday in an online speech hosted by an Indonesian think tank. Indonesia holds the rotating G20 presidency this year.

He thanked Indonesian President Joko Widodo for inviting him to the summit. He added he hopes by the autumn, the world will have "solved all these big problems."

Zelenskyy called for excluding Russia from the meeting. He said he believes that at the summit there will be only friendly states and partner states, and no occupiers.

The president also pointed out that food and energy shortages due to the Russian aggression could get even worse. He asked G20 members to understand the situation and find solutions.

Last month, the Indonesian leader said Russian President Vladimir Putin told him he plans to join the G20 summit. The Russian ambassador to Indonesia says Putin plans to attend in person.
