President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva spoke this Thursday via video call to his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyand reiterated his proposal that Brazil participate in an eventual multinational dialogue process to end the war between Moscow and Kyiv.

“I now had a video meeting with the president of Ukraine. I reaffirmed Brazil’s desire to talk to other countries and participate in any initiative related to peace building and dialogue” Lula wrote on Twitter.

“War cannot interest anyone,” he added.

The call comes a day after Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira met his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov on the sidelines of the G20 foreign ministers meeting in New Delhi.

Lula, who began his third term as Brazil’s president in January, rejected requests to send ammunition to Ukraineand instead of It promotes the creation of a group of third countries to negotiate a peace in the conflict that has been going on for more than a year.

The president had first made his proposal public after a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Brasilia on January 30.

The leftist also presented his idea to US President Joe Biden during a visit to Washington in early February, as well as to French President Emmanuel Macron. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said last week that Moscow is evaluating the proposal.

In an article in the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo, Lula’s foreign minister assured last Friday that Brazil “has no ready-made solution”but which seeks dialogue with other nations to address “peace-building paths”.

Lula caused a stir last year when he claimed Zelensky was “equally responsible” as Russian leader Vladimir Putin in the conflict.
