Brazil's president on Sunday said he had discussed joint mediation for Russia's war in Ukraine with China and the United Arab Emirates, accusing the United States and Europe of prolonging the conflict.
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who was wrapping up an official visit to China and the UAE after returning for a third term in office, said the two countries and others should join a "political G20" to try to end the war.
The veteran leftist, who has faced accusations of being overly cosy with Russian President Vladimir Putin, also remarked that the war was caused "by decisions made by two countries".
"President Putin doesn't take any initiatives to stop (he started) the war. (President Volodymyr) Zelensky (he didn't start it) from Ukraine doesn't take any initiatives to stop the war," Lula, speaking through an official translator, told reporters in Abu Dhabi.
"Europe and the US continue to give their way of contribution to continue the war. So they have to sit around the table and say, 'That's enough'."
The Staff: If you really wanted to help end the war, Tell PUTIN to get out of ALL of Ukraine. The son of a bitch started it and he can end anytime he wishes.
