Rubio made the announcement after meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. He stated that the invitation is an opportunity for Putin to engage not just with Trump but also with other world leaders. The Kremlin responded by saying Russia would consider the invitation, as reported by Reuters and UPI.
The announcement comes amid ongoing efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Rubio emphasized that the U.S. remains open to engaging with Russia on this issue despite stalled peace talks, according to Reuters. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged world leaders at the UN General Assembly to keep choking Russia's revenues and impede its war efforts.
Zelenskyy told the assembly that 'Russia’s revenues must remain a target' and called on global leaders to limit trade with Russia. He also cast doubt on Russia's interest in ending the fighting, stating that Putin is 'Patient Zero,' from whom war keeps spreading further, as reported by HuffPost. Zelenskyy highlighted the global repercussions of the war, including disruptions to fuel, fertilizer, and grain shipments.
The war has also had a significant impact on both countries' military forces. Western analysts estimate that over 500,000 Russian troops have been killed, and Ukraine has recorded more than 500,000 military casualties, including up to 140,000 deaths. Neither country discloses its own casualty totals.
