MOSCOW, March 28. /TASS/. The question of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to the G20 summit in Brazil in November has not been discussed yet, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS.

Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron said possible invitation for Putin should be discussed with other G20 members.

When asked whether the Kremlin viewed this stance as appropriate and whether there was any understanding about Putin’s plans in this regard, Peskov replied: "Those questions have not yet been considered."

Brazil, holding the G20 presidency in 2024, has sent an invitation to Russian President Vladimir Putin to attend the summit to be hosted by Rio de Janeiro in November, but leaders make independent decisions on whether to take part in the event, Brazilian sherpa Mauricio Lirio told TASS in mid-March. Earlier, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said that Brazilian authorities would invite the Russian president to the G20 summit despite the International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrant for Putin. Brazil currently holds the G20 presidency, and its city of Rio de Janeiro will host the 2024 summit on November 18-19.

The G20 consists of Argentina, Australia, the African Union, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, the European Union, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Republic of Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

On March 17, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Putin and Russian Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova on charges of "illegal deportation" of Ukrainian children.

Under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Internationally Protected Persons of December 14, 1973, heads of state enjoy absolute immunity from the jurisdiction of foreign states.
