How Argentina's new president is changing Latin American politics
Zelenskyy stressed that there are very few pages in Ukraine's modern history related to Latin America. That is why his recent visit to Argentina was aimed at building a new milestone in relations between the two countries.
The President of Ukraine added that Latin America, including Argentina, was closer to the legacy of the Soviet Union, and therefore to Russia. Therefore, this influenced the Peace Formula, economic relations, and the lack of support for various financial and military aid packages.
Milei's coming to power in Argentina turns the political direction of Latin America.
The rise to power in Argentina of such an extraordinary personality as Milei turns the political course of Latin America upside down. He is on our side, he officially supports Ukraine. As I know, in the parliament, he declared his full support for Ukraine and spoke out against Putin's policy, Zelenskyy said.
The President also added that his meeting with Milei in Argentina was very powerful, as it will be of interest to Ukraine from an economic point of view.
