The president-elect of Argentina, Javier Milei, has already held the first official telephone conversation with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy, during which he offered to hold a peace summit with Latin America in his country to end the war as soon as possible.

Zelenskyy and Milei discussed the Russian-Ukrainian war

According to Milei, the Argentine authorities are interested in meeting to discuss the realities of the war in Ukraine.

It is essential to understand that if such a meeting occurs, it will be the first in Latin America.

We can become the headquarters, if it is appropriate, representatives of the new president's team said.

Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Milei for his "clear support" in the current situation.

No ambiguity between good and evil. Ukraine's support is simply obvious. Ukrainians know, and we appreciate it very much, the head of state noted.

It should also not be forgotten that Javier Milei, who has always publicly supported Ukraine against the background of the Russian invasion, recently announced that he would sever all relations between Argentina and the Russian Federation.

Why the peace summit in Argentina will be crucial for Ukraine

It is essential to understand that relations between the countries of Latin America and official Kyiv have been tense since the beginning of the war.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called many times for such leaders as, for example, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to come to Ukraine, but this has not happened yet.

However, Javier Milei, who calls the head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin, an "autocrat", has every chance to change the attitude of the countries of Latin America towards Ukraine and finally to establish an important communication for everyone regarding attempts to stop the war.
