Brazil's President accused the event of "encouraging" wars in Ukraine: EU and White House responded

The Brazilian leader called on the US and the EU to stop providing military assistance to Ukraine and to move to peace talks. According to journalists, Lula made this statement shortly after returning from China. "We have to convince people that peace is a path," Brazil President said. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov supported the rhetoric of the Brazilian President, thanking him for "a clear understanding of the genesis of the situation.

" The Ambassador of Europe to Brazil stated that the termination of the supply of weapons to Ukraine is equal to the transition to the side of the Russian Federation and added that "it is alarm. " "This is a war of aggression and defense. If they do not have weapons, Ukrainians lose their right to self -defense," the diplomat on anonymity said. The European Union also rejected the thesis of the Brazilian leader that not only Moscow but also Kiev is guilty of the war.

The EU representative on Foreign Affairs, Peter stated that the assistance provided by the Armed Forces is aimed at "legitimate defense" of Ukraine. According to NDTV, the US National Security Council Coordinator in the White House John Kirby criticized the statement of President Brazil, calling it "deeply problematic. " "In this case, Brazil repeats Russian and Chinese propaganda, despite the facts at all," Kirby said. The White House representative also stressed that the US wants to end the war.

According to him, this can happen immediately after Vladimir Putin removes his troops from the territory of Ukraine. "The latest comments of Brazil that Ukraine should consider the possibility of official transfer of Crimea as a peaceful concession, is simply erroneous, especially for a country such as Brazil, which voted for compliance with the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity," Kirby summed up.
