The head of the faction of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) in the Bundestag, Rolf Mützenich, supported the idea of Brazil to act as a mediator for a diplomatic settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. A fellow party member of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said this in an interview with the German TV channel ARD on the evening of February 5.
“I think it is necessary to take into account all the initiatives that can end this war as soon as possible, because, in my opinion, on the battlefield, the war will only become more bloody,” Mutzenich said.
According to him, the longer the conflict continues, the more difficult future negotiations may become.
“That’s why Brazil’s announcement is important, but now other governments must join in,” he added.
President of Brazil Luis Inacio Lula da Silva proposed last week to create a multilateral international format following the example of the Group of Twenty (G20) to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. He stated this following talks with the German Chancellor. Olaf Scholz.
“We need a group of countries that will sit down at the table with Ukraine and Russia to try to come to peace,” da Silva pointed out that Brazil is ready to contribute.
This month, the President of Brazil will travel to the United States, where he intends to discuss a new format for resolving the Russian-Ukrainian conflict with the President. Joe Biden. The Brazilian leader is scheduled to travel to China in March, where he is going to present this idea to the Chinese President. Xi Jinping.
