Brazil’s Lula calls for China mediated peace talks to end Ukraine war | DW News

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said while he is not interested in supplying ammunition to Ukraine, he has a mediation proposal involving China.
“Brazil is a country of peace. And that is why Brazil does not want any participation in this war, not even indirectly,” Lula said during a joint press briefing with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who is on a four-day visit to the region.
Lula said his country would work with others to help reach peace in Ukraine, and pointed out China’s role in peace talks.
“Our Chinese friends play a very important role in this,” the left-wing politician said. “It’s time for China to step up,” Lula emphasized, adding that
Brazil, China and Russia form part of the BRICS emerging economies which also include India and South Africa, however Brazil was among the 141 countries at the UN General Assembly last year who voted to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
