Brazilian president finally condemns Russian invasion of Ukraine
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula
da Silva has condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine and confirmed his
support for Ukraine's territorial integrity, according to The Guardian.
The comments came after da Silva's meeting with Finnish President Sauli Niinisto in Brazil on June 1.
Previously, the Brazilian president had avoided taking sides in the conflict and had expressed his desire to remain neutral. However, da Silva recently had a phone conversation with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and declined an invitation to visit Russia.
In late April, Lula da Silva declared the “uselessness of finding the guilty” in Russia’s war against Ukraine and the need for negotiations. He also said that it is Ukraine and Russia that must resolve the issue of Crimea’s “ownership.”
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
