Russia's President Vladimir Putin will not attend UN COP26 climate summit in Glasgow
No reason was given for the decision not to attend, but a Kremlin spokesperson said climate change was an "important" priority for Russia.
COP26 takes place in Scotland's largest city from 31 October to 12 November. Russia's decision is seen as a blow to efforts to get leaders to negotiate a new deal to stall rising global temperatures.
Unfortunately, Putin will not fly to Glasgow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, adding that climate change was "one of our foreign policy's most important priorities."
