President of Brazil, who is in Uruguay for the inauguration of Yamandú Orsi, spoke about the mouth of the White House and defended dialogue in search of peace between Russia and Ukraine
President Lula expressed his indignation regarding the recent exchange of offenses between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, considering the situation “grotesque and disrespectful.” During his visit to Uruguay, he emphasized that Zelensky was “humiliated” and stressed the negative consequences that this dispute may have for the European Union. Lula defended the urgency of a dialogue between Russia and Ukraine, stating that peace is fundamental to stability and development.
The heated discussion between Trump and Zelensky took place at the White House, where Trump made severe accusations, stating that Ukraine was “playing with World War I.” He also suggested that Zelensky should demonstrate more gratitude for the support that the United States has offered to the country. Tension increased when Zelensky questioned Trump’s confidence in Putin, leading the former president to criticize the Ukrainian stance.
The clash culminated in Zelensky leaving the White House without signing any agreement. Trump, on his social networks, stated that the Ukrainian President was not prepared for peace and had disrespected the United States. In response, Zelensky thanked the American support and stressed the importance of maintaining strategic partnerships, even in the face of difficulties.
This situation highlights the complexity of relationships between leaders, with Trump demonstrating an interest in approaching Russia, which can further complicate the dynamics of the conflict. Lula, in turn, continues to defend the need for a peaceful understanding between the nations involved, noting that normality and prosperity depend on the resolution of the conflict that has been dragging on for three years.
