Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva urged Ukraine to consider a peaceful resolution to its conflict with Russia, emphasizing Brazil's commitment to neutrality and a peaceful foreign policy. Lula's remarks came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed a Brazilian-Chinese peace proposal as 'destructive' and merely a 'political statement.' The six-point plan, introduced in May, includes a ceasefire and a call for both sides to avoid expanding the battlefield. Zelensky criticized Lula, arguing that true support entails actively aiding Ukraine against Russian aggression. Despite Lula's insistence on dialogue, Zelensky reaffirmed that any negotiations must recognize Ukraine's 1991 borders, a condition Russia has deemed unacceptable. The ongoing military tensions, particularly Ukraine's recent incursions into Russian territory, further complicate the prospect of peace talks.
