In turn, Russian President Vladimir Putin called Brazil, together with China and India, possible mediators to achieve peace. "That is why it is important for Brazil not to participate in the war between Ukraine and Russia.

That is why it is important for Brazil to say that we want peace, we do not want war. Those who want to talk to us now could talk to us before the war ", - said Lula da Silva.
