Read the statement of the spokesperson for Ukraine
“Ukraine is watching with interest the efforts of the President of Brazil to find a solution to end the war.
At the same time, the approach that equates the victim and the aggressor, and the countries that help Ukraine defend itself against deadly aggression, accused of encouraging war, does not correspond to the real situation.
Ukraine does not need to be convinced of anything. The war of aggression is underway on Ukrainian soil and is causing untold suffering and destruction. More than anyone else in the world, we are trying to put an end to Russian aggression based on the Peace Formula proposed by President Zelensky.
We confirm the invitation to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to visit Ukraine to understand the real reasons and essence of the Russian aggression and its consequences for global security”.
The European Union contradicts Lula’s speech on the war in Ukraine

“Referring to the speeches of the Brazilian president, I would just like to mention some basic facts. Fact number 1 is that Russia, and only Russia, is responsible for the unprovoked and unlawful aggression against Ukraine. So there is no doubt about who is.” the aggressor and who is the victim”he said.
