Xi has not traveled abroad since the pandemic broke out. A Kremlin spokesman declined to comment, but Bloomberg writes that an official with knowledge of the situation confirmed that Putin plans to attend. Widodo, who has tried to take a mediating role in the war between Russia and Ukraine, has been under pressure from Western countries to withdraw Putin’s invitation to the summit. Several will also exclude Russia from the group. Putin may meet Zelenskyi Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi has said that he will come to the summit, but that it depends on who else comes. This could be the first face-to-face meeting between him and Putin since Russia invaded Ukraine in February. If President Volodymyr Zelenskyj also attends the summit, it could be the first face-to-face meeting between him and Putin since Russia invaded Ukraine.

And I don’t think it only applies to Indonesia; Asian countries want the same, he says further.
