Zelensky accuses Brazil and China of negotiating only with Russia

(ANSA) – BRASILIA, SEPTEMBER 11 – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Brazil and China of formulating a peace proposal after consulting Russia but without discussing it with Ukraine. “We are not stupid,” he said in an interview with Brazilian news site Metrópoles. “What is the point of this theater? You spoke to Russia and said this is our proposal but you did not ask us anything. And Russia comes and says it supports the proposal of Brazil and China. This is a lack of respect for Ukraine,” he added. Recalling that Brazil is a member of the Rome Statute and will host the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro this year, Zelensky asked “how Putin can show up without being arrested” given that he has an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for war crimes for deporting Ukrainian children to Russia. “Will the G20 countries sit down at the table with someone who needs to be arrested?” asked the Ukrainian president.
