The White House believes that the statements of the Brazilian Foreign Ministry do not match the tone of a neutral state.
The White House said that Brazilian Foreign Minister Mawery Vieira’s position regarding the war in Ukraine, as well as the role of the United States and Europe in countering Russian aggression, does not match the tone of a neutral state. This was during a briefing on Tuesday, April 18, said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Ukrinform reports.
“We were surprised by the tone of yesterday’s press conference by the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Brazil – ed.), which did not match the tone of neutrality and indicated that the United States and Europe are not interested in peace or that we share responsibility for war. And we believe in fact, this is clearly the wrong position,” said Karine Jean-Pierre.
He emphasized that the United States wants to end the war of Putin’s choice and supports President Zelensky’s call for a just and lasting peace based on the UN Charter and the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The White House spokesman also emphasized that America and the European Union have actively urged Putin to refrain from full-scale aggression, at least starting in mid-2021, and make appropriate efforts since the outbreak of the war. this.
“Unfortunately, Russia has shown no interest in stopping its unprovoked aggression,” Jean-Pierre said.
He added that the US will continue to work with allies and partners to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression.
