Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said he intends to discuss with the leaders of Russia, China, Indonesia, India and the United States the need to achieve peace in Ukraine. The US rejected it.
About it declared John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator at the White House National Security Council.
The decision on peace talks to end the war should be made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Kirby said.
«It is up to President Zelenskiy to determine whether negotiations are appropriate, and if so, under what circumstances. As US President Joe Biden has said countless times. Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine,” Kirby said.
The representative of the American department also noted that Washington will support Zelensky when and if he decides to negotiate with Russia.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has reportedly turned down a German request to send ammunition to Ukraine.
