Asked by The Economist on Thursday whether Vladimir Putin would receive an invitation to next year's G20 summit in Manchester, Andy Burnham replied: "No."

The office of the head of the British government has not yet responded to Reuters' request for comment on this matter.

The British won't invite, the Americans did

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in September that Washington had invited the Russian president to this year's G20 summit, to be held in Miami in December.

According to the head of US diplomacy, the event could create an opportunity for talks between the Russian leader and US President Donald Trump and other world leaders.

Despite attempts by Western countries to isolate themselves after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, Russia remains a member of the G20. Traditionally, hosts of annual summits invite all group members to attend.

Open Questions

Will the British government officially confirm the lack of invitation?
