The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been a major violation of sovereignty and international law. According to the International Criminal Court, Russia has committed crimes against humanity. That seems to matter very little to Mexico and Brazil. Presidents Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and Lula Da Silva have closed ranks in total support for the aggressor in Ukraine and said no to the latest peace declaration...Twelve countries tacitly backed Putin’s invasion. Mexico, Brazil, India, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, Libya and other states did not sign the document signed by 80 democratic nations. Loyalty to Putin prevailed in the so-called Global South... Mexican President Lopez Obrador did not go to the summit and did not support the declaration for peace. Emboldened by the recent election results, Mexico refused to sign the resolution in favor of Ukrainian children, maritime transit and the end of the nuclear threat. The position was regrettable but predictable. The Mexican president has been strong supporter of the Cuban and Venezuelan regimes and a harsh critic of the policies of Mexico’s main trading partner, the U.S. Brazilian President Da Silva has also ratified his support for Russia and his contempt for Ukraine and Israel. President Lula did not go to the Peace Summit but his government closed ranks in favor of Putin. Latin America’s largest democracy embraced the bloody narrative of the Russian Federation. Lula has an extraordinary record of corruption and of defending dictators and criminals against humanity. He has applauded Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua, supported the Maduro dictatorship in Venezuela and financed the modern slavery of doctors in Cuba, the dictatorship that has been in power for 65 years. Argentine President Javier Milei, in contrast, ratified his unwavering commitment to freedom. Milei was harsh and clear against Putin and his crimes against humanity. Argentina defended Ukraine’s right to live in peace, sovereignty and freedom... Mexico and Brazil represent the two largest democracies in Latin America. Their inclination toward global tyrannies is damaging and dangerous. They have preferred to stain their hands with blood defending Putin and his latent threats in the face of an unprecedented nuclear conflict.
