Zelensky: Brazil's participation in the peace summit is important for Ukraine

Ukraine is interested in the active participation of Brazil and, in particular, President Lula da Silva in the first Global Peace Summit to be held in Switzerland in June.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this in an interview with Brazilian journalists, UNN reports with reference to the OP.

I believe that his presence there, as well as that of any leaders of any state in the world who receive an invitation, indicates that they, these people, want peace. It is desirable that it be a just peace for Ukraine

The President emphasized that Brazil's support is very important for Ukraine. However, for a long time, Ukraine was unable to convey to this country the truth about the war unleashed by Russia. This happened because of Brazil's long-term relations with the Soviet Union, the continuation of its policies by modern Russia, and the promotion of Russian propaganda narratives in the information space of Latin America.

And it's a big plus for you that Brazilian journalists have started to come to Ukraine, understand what's going on here, and then publish this information

Zelensky also recalled that met with Lula da Silva in September 2023 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session, where he had the opportunity to talk to him personally.
