The Brazilian chancellor also criticized the sanctions applied to the Russian government due to the conflict.
“I reiterated the Brazilian position against the application of unilateral sanctions. Such measures, in addition to not having the approval of the UN Security Council, have a negative impact on the economies of everyone, especially in developing countries”, he explained.
Lavrov, who has a meeting with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, arrived in the country this Monday (17th) and stated that he understands the Brazilian position.
“We are grateful to the Brazilian side, understanding the part in this situation, thanking the contribution to the solution of this conflict and problem, and we are taking it into consideration. We need to solve it in a lasting way and not immediately, ”he considered.
