WNU editor: Putin is not going to the G20 summit in Rome later this month, and he is not going to attend the Climate conference in Glasgow. Definitely not with the Covid crisis out of control in Russia right now. 

So when will Putin and Biden meet? 

It will not be a face-to-face meeting with only interpreters in the room. It will be a video-conference link where everything will be cue-carded and scripted.
