Zelensky criticized the president of Brazil because the G20 summit showed “very weak support” for Ukraine

He said this during the third Grain from Ukraine International Conference on Food Security, reports the Interfax-Ukraine agency.

In particular, Zelenskyy stated that the G20 summit passed with very weak support from Ukraine.

“Brazil is a big country, I know… that most people support Ukraine, I want to thank you for that. “Unfortunately, the G20 took place with very weak support from Ukraine,” the Ukrainian president believes.

As the Ukrainian president added, the communiqué adopted at the end of the G20 summit “showed a weak position.”

“And there was a very difficult situation, I know, rather scandalous. How it was, what decision was made. “Unfortunately, the leader of Brazil showed himself on the weak side,” Zelensky said.

On November 21, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine stated that Ukraine was upset by the decision of Brazil, which presided over the G20, not to invite the Ukrainian delegation to the summit, which fell on the 1,000th day of full-scale Russian aggression against the Russian Federation.

On November 19, the Financial Times reported that the G20 countries softened their statement regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine in a joint statement following the summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In particular, it mentioned only about “human suffering”.

Group of 20 summit (G20) was held in Rio de Janeiro on November 18-19.

On November 19, during a meeting, US President Joe Biden, in the presence of Lavrov, publicly called to support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

On November 20, Reuters, citing sources, reported that European delegates at the G20 summit in Brazil were unhappy with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s decision to end the talks and release the group’s final communiqué a day early to avoid a heated debate about Russia’s war against Ukraine.
