Brazilian President: Everyone knows the Ukraine war is about to end
On August 26, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said that not only the conflicting parties know that the Ukraine war is about to end, but also the United States and European countries know it.
"Everyone knows this war is about to end. I think President Putin and Zelenskyy know what the conflict will lead to, and Europe and Trump also know. They are just waiting for the right moment and the courage to announce the end of the conflict."
Additionally, da Silva criticized the EU's decision to allocate 80 billion euros for rearming all member states. "When we need funds to fight hunger and support forests (protection), these resources should be used for other purposes," he added. He also mentioned that the biggest concern for international leaders is who will bear the "war debt" in Eastern Europe.
Previously, Trump spoke about the possibility of imposing sanctions and tariffs not only on Russia but also on Ukraine. He pointed out that thousands of young people die every week, and he could end it all by implementing sanctions or using very high tariffs, which would impose a heavy cost on Russia or Ukraine. Trump added that he would work to facilitate a meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy.
Russia's summer offensive in Ukraine is nearing its end. Most of the goals set by Moscow for the period from April to August 2025 have not been achieved. Russia had tried to occupy Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region and successfully entered the city in August, but within three weeks, all Russian infiltration sabotage groups that had entered were no longer present.
