Posted by: lukwago J in world news April 19, 2023

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio da Silva condemned the violation of Ukraine’s territorial integrity by Russia and again called for mediation to end the war, a peace initiative that has been been criticized by Kyiv.

Luiz insisted that while his government condemn Russia’s offensive it also defended a negotiated political solution to end the long standing conflict.

While speaking at a lunch with his Romanian President Klaus Iohannis Lula said a group of neutral nations must come together to help broker peace between Russia and Ukraine.

These comments come a day after the United States criticized his remarks during a recent trip to China that Washington was “encouraging the war” in Ukraine and that Kyiv shared the blame for the conflict as reported by AFP.

At the press conference , US National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said that Brazil was parroting Russian and Chinese propaganda without looking at the facts.Ukraine also expressed anger at the comments of the Brazilian President.

Hitting back, Lula’s foreign advisor Celso Amorim called Washington’s criticism absurd and insisted that Brazil didn’t share Russia’s position.

Since the beginning of the war, Brazilian President Luiz pitches himself as a peace broker and his proposal based on Brazil’s tradition of non intervention and neutrality,calls for a group of countries not involved in the war to engage Moscow and Kyiv in talks.

Ukraine criticized the proposal as it treated the victim and the aggressor in the same way. On Tuesday the Ukrainian government invited Lula to the war torn country to see for himself the consequences of Russia’s offensive.
