Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been invited to the G20 summit in November, which will also be attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the leader of host nation Indonesia said Friday.
Indonesia, which holds the G20 presidency this year, has been under heavy pressure from the West, led by the United States, to exclude Russia following its attack of Ukraine, but Jakarta has argued it must remain "impartial".
"I have invited President Zelensky to attend the G20 summit," said President Joko Widodo, suggesting a compromise had been reached following pressure from US President Joe Biden and others to allow Ukraine's participation to strike a balance.
Putin confirmed in a phone call with Widodo that he will attend the summit, to take place on Bali island, the Indonesian leader said in a livestreamed address.
Russia is a G20 member, while Ukraine is not.
Zelensky had announced in a tweet that he was invited to the summit by Indonesia on Wednesday, following a call with Widodo.
Widodo met with the Russian president on Thursday, saying, "Putin thanked Indonesia for the invitation to the G20 summit and said he would attend."
During the conversation, Putin wished Indonesia's G20 presidency "success", Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
But "for the time being, it is premature to communicate the modalities of Russian participation", he said, leaving the format of Moscow's participation in doubt.
The West has attempted to diplomatically isolate Russia since the beginning of its military offensive in February.

A meeting of G20 finance ministers in April in Washington illustrated the deep divisions in the group of the world's major economies, with the US and several allies boycotting talks to protest Russian participation.
But Indonesia, has tried to maintain a neutral position.
Widodo said on Friday that Indonesia would not send weapons to Ukraine in response to a request from Zelensky, instead offering humanitarian aid.
The fighting in Ukraine was again a major talking point on Friday when Widodo spoke with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
The Indonesian president called for an immediate end to hostilities and stressed the need for a "peaceful solution".
Kishida agreed that the violence must end but used stronger language to describe the conflict.
"An infringement on sovereignty and territorial integrity through the use of force and intimidation, as well as an attempt to unilaterally change the status quo by force, are unacceptable in any region," he said.
