Britain rejects Putin's participation in the G20 2027 summit in Manchester British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said that Russian leader Vladimir Putin will not be invited to the G20 summit, which is scheduled to be held in Manchester in 2027. Due to sanctions, Russia will only be represented by lower-ranking officials. Meanwhile, London expects Chinese leader Xi Jinping to attend. Burnham also reaffirmed Britain's commitment to provide military and financial support to Ukraine until the end of the war and to join a peacekeeping mission if necessary. One of the main topics at the summit will be the development of global standards for artificial intelligence.
