BANGKOK, November 8. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin may participate in the G20 summit in Bali online, Indonesian President Joko Widodo said.

According to Reuters, Widodo said at a press conference on Tuesday that the Russian leader had not ruled out in their phone call last week that he would attend the summit. "But if not... maybe he'll ask to do it virtually," the news agency quoted the Indonesian president as saying.

Bloomberg, in turn, reported that according to Widodo, Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said they would come if the situation allowed.

Widodo said in an interview with the Financial Times on November 7 that Putin probably would not attend the G20 summit. At the same time, he noted that the Russian side is still invited to the summit as Jakarta is looking forward to facilitating dialogue between countries amid an alarming rise in global tensions.

The G20 summit is scheduled to take place on the island of Bali on November 15-16. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday that he would announce later in the week if Russian President Vladimir Putin would go to Bali to attend the G20 summit.
