Lula da Silva: Brazil wants the end of the war in Ukraine.
According to the Spanish website Euronews, Lula da Silva, who is to be sworn in as the new president of Brazil on Sunday (local time), announced in a message on his Twitter page that he separately met with Valentina Matvienko, the head of the Russian Federation Council, and Yulia Sviridenko. Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine has visited.
According to the images published by this left-wing leader, representatives of Russia and Ukraine are in Brazil to participate in Da Silva’s inauguration, and they also met with the country’s future foreign minister, Mauro Vieira.
According to Lula da Silva’s message, he told the Russian representative that Brazil wants peace and finding a common ground to end the conflict.
He assured that Sviridenko had brought him a report on the situation in his country (Ukraine).
Lula, who discussed bilateral relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this month (December), said: “In Brazil, we have a tradition of defending the integrity of nations and we talk to anyone we can for peace.”
After four years of Jair Bolsonaro’s presidency and his poor performance in the field of the environment and the continuous attacks of this far-right politician on his country’s electoral system, Lula da Silva has repeatedly emphasized that Brazil has returned to the world stage since winning the elections.
Lula da Silva is expected to travel to the United States, China and Argentina early in his term. Meanwhile, sources told Reuters that German Chancellor Olaf Schultz and French President Emmanuel Macron are likely to meet him in Brasilia (Brazil’s capital) in January.
