As is known, the Brazilian government is one of those states that remains neutral in the war in Ukraine and insists on immediate peace negotiations. During his visit to the South American country, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov thanked his country for its “support”.
At the same time, Lavrov stressed: “Of course we are interested in an end to the Ukraine conflict as soon as possible.” His Brazilian counterpart Mauricio Vieira reiterated his country’s interest in a peaceful solution and criticized sanctions against Russia: “Such measures have negative effects especially on the economy in developing countries.” As one of the world’s largest agricultural producers, Brazil depends on fertilizers from Russia.
Lavrov was also scheduled to meet with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Lula had said during a visit to China a few days ago, “The US should stop promoting war and start talking about peace. The EU should start talking about peace.”
