[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 that Russia made a mistake in invading Ukraine, but avoided denying it.
He also said Brazil would not supply Ukraine with ammunition for the German Gepard anti-aircraft gun, which Germany was said to have requested.
“Russia has made the classic mistake of encroaching on another country’s territory. Russia is wrong,” said Lula. No,” he said, drawing attention to the fact that the two countries had said little about a peaceful resolution.
Brazil has also said that it is not on either side and that it will work with other countries to support peace in Ukraine. China will play a key role in the peace talks, he said, adding that both sides would discuss the issue when they visit Beijing in March.
A joint statement issued by the two governments later said, “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.”
Even in Argentina and Chile, which Mr Scholz visited earlier during his tour of South America, he could not get support from Ukraine, highlighting the difference in feeling with the West.
