President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy is travelling to Argentina to seek support from the Global South. This is the first visit of a Ukrainian leader to Latin America since the start of the full-scale war.
What is the reason for Zelenskyy's visit to Argentina?
According to the publication, Volodymyr Zelenskyy hopes to convene a global peace summit and promote the Ukrainian formula for peace, which is based on the withdrawal of Russian troops and a return to the 1991 borders.
Reuters notes that Ukraine is trying to establish relations with governments in Africa, Asia and Latin America. But support for Israel contradicts the positions of some of these countries.
In addition, Zelenskyy may use the inauguration of Argentina's new president, Javier Millay, to meet with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. It is likely that the Ukrainian president will try to resolve differences over Ukraine's accession to the EU before the summit of European leaders.
