Russian-Ukrainian negotiations in Belarus. File photoMEXICO CITY, Mar 26Brazil stands for dialogue between the Russian Federation and Ukraine and is ready to act as a mediator and facilitator of negotiations, Brazilian Foreign Minister Carlos França said in an interview with CNN Brasil.
" know if we can achieve peace … We are far from the theater in which this conflict is unfolding. But, of course, Brazil, based on a position aimed at peace and consensus in the United Nations, can indeed be a mediator in this dialogue", the minister said.
According to França, in a recent conversation with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken he expressed concern about the selectivity of the sanctions that the United States and its allies impose against Russia — Russia's partners around the world are under attack. The conversation between França and Blinken was generally devoted to the purchase of fertilizers for Brazilian agriculture — against the backdrop of restrictions against Russia, Brazil may need to purchase fertilizers in Morocco and Iran, which are also under sanctions.
