    > Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Brazil of being pro-Russia in the Kremlin's war on Ukraine and lambasted a joint peace proposal drawn up by Brasília and Beijing.

    > Brazil and China signed a joint statement in May calling for peace talks involving both Russia and Ukraine.

    > Zelenskyy expressed doubt over Brazil's efforts to find a peaceful resolution to the war, arguing that Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he described as a "Murderer," has no intention of ending the conflict.

  2. So Brasilia just came up with their own proposal and didn’t consult Kyiv at all?

    It’s either blatantly pro-kremlin or just plain stupidity.

    I need to learn more. I just don’t think it is in Brazils long term interest.

    Russia helped that last asshole Bolsanaro and likely is behind the disinformation on Shitter they got it banned

  4. He’s not wrong. Brazil is part of BRICS. Morality seems to be in 2nd place to money every time. How much Russian money is corrupting Brazilian politics?

  5. Brazil is a major importer of Russian fertilizer and a major exporter of agricultural commodities. Lula is triangulating. He is trying to play both sides in the conflict. The problem is that all of his peace proposals would cement Russian gains in places like Donbas.

  6. Two BRICS nations coming to Russia’s aid? Color me shocked.

    The Russians want to negotiate because they’re losing. Remove the long range restrictions and let Moscow learn what Kievans feel like.

    If one missile lands in Moscow, it ends Putin’s entire political existence.

  7. Lula is a tankie. He will side with Russia and China and their allies in every conflict. He will betray his own voters by doing so. Sadly, the other alternative Brazil had was Bolsonaro, who is even worse. Brazilian politics is messed up. The people have no good choices.

  8. Any clues as to what was actually in the proposal?

    China’s one from a year or so ago had Russia giving back all of Ukraine’s land, though it was worded in a typically vague and non-committal manner.

    I assume given Zelenskyy’s reaction here Lula suggested giving up some land?

    Before Lulu won the election he was talking all kinds of crap about Ukraine and was basically telling the world he was Pro Russia in the conflict. Brazilians elected him anyways but I really don’t blame them considering their options. Point being that this behavior was expected, Brazil is concerned about their fertilizer imports which their entire agriculture system relies upon. Also that Lulu is less about morals and more about money.
