Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov speaks during a joint press conference with his Brazilian counterpart Mauro Vieira at Itamaraty Palace in Brasilia on April 17, 2023Russia's foreign minister thanked Brazil Monday for seeking to mediate peace talks on Ukraine ahead of a meeting with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, whose statements on the conflict have dismayed some in the West.
Lula is pushing for talks to end the Ukraine conflict, but faces mounting concern over what some in the United States and Europe see as his anti-Western stances, including his accusation that Washington is"encouraging" the war. Lula is fresh off a trip to China and the United Arab Emirates, during which he raised eyebrows in the West by accusing the United States of"encouraging the war" in Ukraine. He also said the United States and Europe"need to start talking about peace," and that Kyiv shares the blame for the conflict.
