[ブラジリア ３０日 ロイター] – Brazilian President Lula held a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Thursday, saying Russia had made a mistake in invading Ukraine, but avoided denouncing it.
He also said Brazil would not supply Ukraine with ammunition for the German-made Gepard anti-aircraft gun, which Germany had reportedly requested.
“Russia has made the classic mistake of encroaching on another country’s territory. Russia is wrong,” Lula said. No,” he said, pointing out that both countries made little mention of a peaceful resolution.
Brazil has also said it is not on either side and will work with other countries to support peace in Ukraine. China will play a key role in the peace talks, he said, adding that the two sides would discuss the matter when they visit Beijing in March.
“Russia’s violation of the territorial integrity of Ukraine and its annexation of certain territories is a clear violation of international law and is strongly condemned,” a joint statement issued by the two governments said.
Even in Argentina and Chile, which Mr. Scholz visited earlier during his tour of South America, he was unable to obtain support from Ukraine, highlighting the difference in attitude with the West.
