Volodymyr Zelensky is ready to go to the G20 in Miami if the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, will also attend the leaders’ summit scheduled for December. This is what the Ukrainian president said in an interview with Deutsche Welle. “Yes, of course. We have to go. We have to meet, talk, and make decisions,” Zelensky said, explaining that what he would say to Putin matters less than the results. “It’s not a matter of words. What I will say to him or what he wants to say to me does not matter. It does not matter. […] The results matter. That’s all.” The Kremlin has so far refused to say whether Putin will fly to Miami for the G20.

Putin: We do not threaten Europe, conflict originates from EU states
The Russian president also spoke. Russia does not threaten European countries and would have no reason to enter into conflict with them, Vladimir Putin said in New Delhi, as reported by Ntv, instead accusing European states of provoking a possible clash with Moscow. “Russia does not threaten any European country and we have no reason for conflict with them,” Putin said, asserting that with the end of World War II “all issues were resolved.” “Do they want to revise the results of World War II? What are they pushing the peoples of their countries towards? A war with the Russian Federation?” he added.

For Putin, the strong result of the AfD in the recent regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt also reflects the insecurity of European citizens, caused by Western policies that push them towards conflict with Russia. “It is all the result of systematic errors made by Western states in political, security, and economic matters,” Putin said, according to Russian TV correspondent Pavel Zarubin in a video posted on Telegram, as reported by Ntv. According to the Kremlin leader, citizens of European countries “understand what is happening” and this also explains the electoral results in Germany. Putin then accused European governments of provoking an open conflict with Russia, fueling insecurity among their own citizens.
Zelensky: 100-120 Patriots per month needed for winter
Ukraine needs 100-120 Patriot missiles per month to face the winter months and defend against Russian attacks. This was said by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with Deutsche Welle, emphasizing the need for greater support from the United States and Europe. “Russia currently produces 140 ballistic missiles per month. So, according to NATO rules, if you want to destroy 140 missiles, you need a ratio of one to two, that is 280 missiles,” Zelensky said. “You will never have 280 missiles per month and, between us, it is a huge challenge to even reach 100 missiles per month. This is what I want. I want to have 100-120 for these difficult months, especially the cold ones.” Zelensky explained that the United States has the political will to provide aid, but that Patriot missile production “is not very high.” “Will the Americans be ready to give us Patriots? I don’t know. We’ll see,” he added. The Ukrainian president then urged European allies to provide the maximum possible support. “They must give as much as possible. With all due respect to them, they must give Ukrainians what is needed to save their lives,” he said. Zelensky also reported having reached agreements with several European companies to develop a Ukrainian-guided missile defense system called Freya. The goal, he explained, is to start the first phase of testing by the end of December.
