“Ukraine is following with interest the efforts of the President of Brazil to find a solution to end the war. At the same time, the approach that puts the victim and the aggressor on the same level and accuses the countries that help Ukraine to defend itself against deadly aggression of encouraging war, does not correspond to the real state of affairs,” says his Facebook page. Oleg Nikolenko, representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
“We, like no one else in the world, strive to stop Russian aggression based on the peace formula proposed by President Zelensky,” he added, stressing that Ukraine “does not need to be convinced” of the need for peace, because the war is being waged on its territory.
Nikolenko also stated that Kyiv invited Luis Inacio Lula da Silva to visit Ukraine to understand the “real reasons” and “essence of Russian aggression” as well as its consequences for global security.
