Zelensky says he will visit Brazil at Lula’s invitation

By · July 27, 2023 · 1 min read

In a global political landscape that is ever-shifting, diplomatic relations remain a key aspect.

The Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, recently announced in an interview his potential plans to travel to Brazil, provided he receives an invitation from President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

This statement underlines the importance of Latin America in the world’s geopolitical scene, with Zelensky highlighting Brazil’s particular significance amongst other nations.

Zelensky said, “Latin America is extremely significant to me, particularly Brazil – and other countries as well. I would certainly like to visit if given the opportunity. If an invitation is extended, I will come.”

His statement suggests a desire for increased international cooperation, although he indicates that such a visit would hinge on logistical support from the Brazilian government, citing the considerable distance and his constrained schedule.

This dialogue took place during an exclusive interview, which was aired in its entirety on GloboNews’ “Jornal das 10”, a news channel of the Grupo Globo.

The broadcast was scheduled for Wednesday evening, demonstrating the attention that Zelensky’s statements have drawn from international media outlets.
