Points of attention

- According to Zelenskyy, Brazilian President Lula da Silva does not provide real support to Ukraine, contrary to good relations between the nations.
- Zelenskyy criticizes the idea of "political reconciliation" and calls for negotiations with Putin.
- The Ukrainian leader rejects proposals to forget about the killings and give up the country's territory, calling it a destructive approach.
- The "peace plan" of Brazil and China actually proposes to freeze the conflict, leaving the occupied territories of Ukraine under the control of Russia, which is unacceptable to Kyiv.
Zelenskyy criticized the "peace plan" of Brazil and China
Relations between the Brazilian and Ukrainian people are normal, but the position of the president of the Latin American country is different.
I am sure that people in Brazil support the people of Ukraine. Although if Lula (President of Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva - ed.) had supported us, he would have helped stop the war.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
The Ukrainian president said that during a personal meeting with the president of Brazil, he allegedly understood and supported Kyiv. However, he now offers "political reconciliation".
Zelenskyy called calls to sit down with Putin at the negotiating table unacceptable. Proposals to forget the killing of people and to give up the country's territory are destructive.
This compromise is simply unacceptable. Forget the murders, forget everything? Therefore, I believe that it is destructive, — said Zelenskyy.
In fact, Brazil and China's "peace plan" proposes a war freeze. That is, temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine remain behind Russia.
The position of Brazil regarding the war in Ukraine
Zelenskyy has repeatedly spoken about the importance of the voice of the Global South. Therefore, he called on its representatives, particularly Brazil, to visit the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland.
The conference was held on June 15-16, 2024 in Bürgenstock. It was visited by delegations from 92 countries and eight international organizations, and Russia was not invited to the summit.
Brazil was represented at the Global Conference on the Ukrainian "peace formula", but it did not sign the final communique.
Zelenskyy personally met with the President of Brazil on September 21, 2023.
Brazil, along with China, are calling for an immediate end to hostilities and to sit down at the negotiating table. This is beneficial for the Russian Federation, which currently does not have the potential for active advancement, but can retain the captured territories.
