Russia has not yet decided whether president Vladimir Putin will attend November's G20 summit in Indonesia.
In a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Russia had an invitation to attend and would decide “at the necessary time” whether Mr Putin will go in person.
Western leaders are weighing up how to approach the summit should Mr Putin go, with British prime minister Boris Johnson calling on leaders not to boycott if the Russian president does decide to attend
Indonesia is hosting the summit in November and the Russian President, as a member of the Group of 20 leading economies, is invited.
The prime minister said that boycotting the event in protest at the invitation extended to Mr Putin would hand a “propaganda opportunity” to the Russian leader.
It comes as Russian forces withdrew from Snake Island off Ukraine's coast in the Black Sea as a “gesture of goodwill”, the defence ministry said on Thursday.
